I worked in the California Conservation Corps for a year when I was a
teenager. A worthwhile and very valuable year of my life, I wish I could do
it again. I'd work for minimum wage, hard, five days or more per week,
doing conservation projects in the woods, and gladly pay $200/month for
room & board, for the opportunity to return to the work I enjoyed and the
people I worked with. I worked in the Salmon Restoration Project at a
satellite center in Forest Glen, CA. Maybe the best year of my life, maybe.

Yup, I'd be the first in line for one of those jobs.
