Clear Lake State Park near Atlanta in northern Michigan has a permanent intermittent ranger opening, meaning a lasting job with hours that vary through the year. You would run daily operations, maintain grounds, buildings and equipment, train staff and take on administrative tasks from the lead ranger. Rangers must earn a DNR law enforcement commission and attend two academies that typically total 12 weeks with overnight stays. A high school level education is the baseline, and one or two years of park, recreation or trades work qualifies you for the higher levels. Pay is $22.03 to $30.98 an hour.
