Maine Outdoor Career Guide (1).jpg

An outdoor career is a type of profession that involves performing work-related tasks outdoors. While most outdoor careers include some office work, these jobs require individuals to spend a considerable amount of time in nature. These careers are ideal for those who love the great outdoors, fresh air, and Maine's natural scenery. Moreover, outdoor careers offer a sense of adventure, as individuals may face unexpected challenges and situations that necessitate creative thinking and quick adaptation.

It's important to acknowledge that outdoor careers often expose workers to various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Therefore, individuals who pursue these careers should be prepared to work in such environments and take the necessary precautions to remain safe and healthy.

Outdoor careers can be incredibly rewarding for those who are passionate about nature and enjoy working in an active, challenging environment.
