Looking for Work? Look at Texas

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is hiring.

Heading into the new year, the department had 50 jobs posted and expected to add more to that list soon, according to a news release.

Most of the jobs are in the State Parks Division with jobs in Austin, its field offices and many of the state's 93 state parks.

"The combination of retirements and new positions is making for the best state park career opportunities that we've seen in 20 or more years," said State Parks Director Walt Dabney. "For people who love the outdoors, like working with park visitors and doing something that makes a difference in their quality of life, this is a wonderful time to consider a parks career."

Other positions to be filled are in the wildlife, fisheries and other divisions
