This was an interesting week with a change in schedule. I did not report to the public utilities office at all this week, instead I spent my hours shadowing a Delaware county game warden. Janelle has been excellent indirecting me throughout my internship but also going above and beyond to help me search for jobs post graduation. She was the one who set up this shadowing experience with the game warden and I am very grateful. The game warden, Maurice Irish, walked me through a typical work day for him. Since it is a slow time of year with no hunting or fishing going on we spent most of the time driving around different parks and wildlife areas to ensure everything was running as it was supposed to be. Maurice also took the time to tell me about what he does during different times in the season, his favorite parts about being a game warden, as well as his least favorites. Maurice gave me lots of good tips and advice to think about when preparing to apply to be a game warden, including things to do in the meantime and what to expect if I get selected. Maurice also talked to me about other aspects to his job that most people do not think about, such as education and public outreach. As part of his job he gives a lot of presentation and even pulled up a few to give me an idea of what that entails. All in all I really think this is the type of career I could see myself doing! Although we did not get to do a whole lot of hands on things today, I found it quite interesting and very helpful just to talk with Maurice and get his views and opinions on what being a game warden is really like. Towards the end he gave me his card and invited me to partake in another ride along whenever I get the chance and I look forward to taking him up on that offer.
