Aimed at the reader who would prefer to work outdoors, this book deals mainly with jobs, found in both town and country, which contribute to the natural environment, rather than those such as bricklayer, traffic warden or footballer, which simply take place in the open. This revised edition examines the many career opportunities that are available in the natural environment: the three largest industries - agriculture, horticulture and forestry - as well as conservation, landscaping and rural crafts. Part one provides information on careers for people with qualifications ranging from GCSEs to a degree, and outlines the skills and personal qualities which are required, illustrated by case studies. Training schemes are mentioned where relevant. Part two gives details of courses and useful addresses.
