Would a law degree fulfill the educational requirements for becoming a Park Ranger?

I have been searching for a position as a Park Ranger (Protection/LE). These positions seem to require either law enforcement experience, or two years of post graduate education in administration of justice/criminal sciences (or closely related degrees in the conservation field).

I have a lot of experience in many of the skills needed, such as technical rope work and firefighting, but am wondering whether my law degree would be sufficient to get my "foot in the door" or whether my application will be overlooked because of it. Thanks.

If you want a meaningful answer, call the PIO at the Parks Service and ask that person.

some conservation departments want you to have a bachelors in Criminal Justice -or- in forestry.

In NY a DEC officer is required to have at least 12 credits in environmental studies or other related areas ie: forestry, along with an Associates Degree.

A law degree is way above the pay grade for a park ranger.
