Completely agree, but we can't live in a fantasy world we wish existed. If you cut the requirements and a warden shoots someone over a disagreement over a something stupid like shooting a duck before legal light, then that creates a potential liability for the agency. My brother looked at becoming a DNR officer in IL and learned they basically need to know all the rules a regular police officer or state trooper knows and all the game laws as well. It was a lot. Add to that the job isn't easy in any way. Simply put, the pay is too low.To both @SAJ-99 and @Hunting Wife Im simply saying that if someone was to go on a 4 year internship or apprenticeship that woukd also signal a level of interest and dedication meanwhile maybe making a small amd I mean small income certainly like a viable option. Only one missing out soukd be the university on there 200k.
I think hiring in almost any job of any type is a complete roll of the dice, even though I really only know my own experience. As I thought back to my hiring days in the corporate world, I really liked to hire ex-athletes who got their degree (a non-flexible requirement in a job like finance) while playing for the college team. In that case, I didn't care much about GPA. And any sport, didn't matter if it was golf or bowling or football. I joked that they were most easily able to handle me telling them that the report they did was crap and they had to redo it, LOL. Mostly I think they had drive and could mentally handle mutiple things at the same time. Maybe some day AI will figure out how to maximize hiring for any position.
