Seasonal Positions:

Hey there, sorry it took me a couple of days to answer.

I can only tell you what has worked for me in my career...

I volunteered A LOT, at zoos, nearby nature centers, with local herpetological and birdwatching groups (running AV for presenters), and if i heard about a professor or grad student working on a field project... i volunteered for them, as well.

Obviously, read read read, try to keep up with the most recent natural history books and field guides. Follow science and natural history publications, in print or online, and read lots of articles in your field.

Also, i took a lot of internships in different fields of environmental education, interpretation, and field biology. They don't pay a lot, but National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges usually provide housing, and you normally get some kind of meager pay. The field experience can be invaluable.
