Forest Service employment affords an opportunity to hobnob with just about 
everyone from elevator boys to board chairmen. 
Forest Service work is so highly complex as to require the employment of people 
representing a very wide variety of skills, knowledges, and professions. A list 
of work associates, many of them almost daily coworkers, will include ac- 
countants, airplane pilots, architects, artists, business managers, clerks, 
draftsmen, economists, engineers, entomologists, foresters, landscape de- 
signers, pathologists, scalers, secretaries, skilled workers of various sorts, 
soil scientists, wildlife managers, and even an occasional writer. 
After-hours associates will, of course, be of your own choosing, but Forest 
Service people make friends in the communities where they live. Their kids 
go to school with those of the doctor, lawyer, baker, and candlestick maker. 
The usual array of social activity is available in almost any community in 
which a National Forest office is located, and generally is adequate to suit the 
needs of even the most gregarious kinds of people.
