Parks and Recreation Management

Careers in parks and recreation focus on the services provided in national parks, theme parks, fitness centers, and other environmental and recreational facilities, often with the opportunity to work outdoors. Sure, some jobs will have you spending a lot of time outdoors, and maybe even hiking through the woods. But other positions are indoors, working from a desk and organizing community programs for a town or city that employs you.
