In Step By Step, Scooter says not to mention that you want to help the environment or be close to nature if you want to get a job planting trees. I understand that they want to weed out any of the boho couch potatos with romantic ideas about planting trees but how true is this actually?
It seems weird to me that wanting to 'fight deforestation and climate change' is seen as a negative trait in an industry that is supposed to do exactly that. I want to start next season so I'll be applying pretty soon. I'm in it for the money but what first caught my interest was the horrible forest fires this year so that will always be part of my motivations. Any thoughts?
Edit: thank you I think I needed to hear it from more people. also added quotations to be more clear, it is outwardly presented this way. appreciate the different perspectives and the lucid thinking!
Edit 2: Love all of the responses thank you again.This has really cleared my head and I'll be applying for all the right reasons now (:
