There aren't a lot of job opportunities here. I have a Masters Degree in Range Ecology and Watershed Management, and work as a Federal Civilian employee. I put in for a transfer about 9 months ago, but there is a 5 year waiting list.

The quality of my work is exceptional, he's just constantly irritated because I'm not a member of any of the churches, which causes more paperwork for him. (He has to fill out incident reports anytime a member of the public pulls a gun on one of us in the field. And since I'm not a member of any of the churches I get shot at far more than anyone else on the team.)

Thanks to budget cuts, the sequester, and a hiring freeze there is no hope of getting out of here any sooner.
