This publication deals primarily with careers in technical 
forestry, the practice of which calls for professional training. 
Many nonprofessional workers, such as skilled and unskilled 
laborers, mechanics, lookout men and fire-control aids, account- 
ants, clerks, and stenographers, are employed by public forestry 
agencies and private forest industries. Although these em- 
ployees play an important part in forest work, their jobs ordi- 
narily do not call for fundamental training in the science of 
forestry. Information on employment possibilities for non- 
professionals can be obtained from the employing agencies.
