I'm a 2-time college dropout and I followed this unusual career advice to land my dream job working in a national park
Briefly

I had honestly never even visited a national park before I moved to one. I was living in Texas and was struggling to figure out my passion.
One of my friends took the advice of a friend's father who told her, 'If you're ever lost in life, if you don't know what to do, go scoop ice cream in Yellowstone.' She got a job in Yosemite, and when she came to visit me I had never seen her so happy.
I discovered my passion for the outdoors through seasonal work. I do love my job in hospitality, but to me it's a means to be where I want to be.
Seasonal work offers varied pay and housing but lets her live in beautiful places. I have worked at places like Zion, Glacier, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon, and now I am back in Death Valley.
