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, accountants, clerks, and stenographers, are employed in public forestry agencies and private forest industries. Although these employees play an important part in forest work, their jobs ordinarily do not call for fundamental training the science of forestry. Information on employment possibilities for nonprofessionals can be obtained from the employing agencies.
