How to Become a Fish and Game WardenFish and game wardens are law enforcement officers who enforce hunting, fishing, and boating laws. They might scrutinize accidents, lead search and rescue operations, patrol areas where hunting or fishing occur, look into complaints, and help prosecute those who violate hunting and fishing laws.Required Education for a Fish and Game Warden You need at least two years of college to qualify for employment as a fish and game warden, however many candidates find that earning a bachelor's degree gives them an edge over the competition. This is particularly important since the number of jobs for fish and game wardens is not expected to increase at all from 2006-2016. Currently only 8,000 fish and game wardens work throughout the U.S., meaning you need an impressive resume to join their ranks. Furthering your education is one of the best ways to achieve that. Since fish and game wardens keep records of biological data and sometimes investigate damage to either crops or property caused by wildlife, a degree in biology can help with your career. Otherwise, a criminal justice degree should prove the most beneficial with the investigative and legal aspects of the job. Then, after getting hired, you must attend a training academy that can last from three to twelve months depending upon your prior experience. Typical Salary for a Fish and Game Warden Fish and game wardens earn an average annual wage of $56,030. State governments tends to pay the best, offering average annual salaries of $58,340. Local governments, on the other hand, pay far lower wages, averaging only $39,700. |
