the pros of staying with environment wisconsin for 40 hours a week and not working for the ice age trail alliance

  • only 3 bosses, instead of 4
  • shorter commute
  • easier to keep track of work schedule
  • more opportunities for advancement within RENEW or PNTS (PNTS would be the priority, though)
  • possibly better for running schedule?
  • less guess-work in duties/orientation
  • not spreading myself too thin

the cons of staying exclusively with environment wisconsin

  • extensive time with certain co-workers might make me go crazy
  • I wouldn't get to go out to Cross Plains twice to three times a week; I'd be stuck in Madison
  • I wouldn't get the experience of working with trails at the ground level
  • I wouldn't get to see the connections between the work I'm doing at PNTS and one of the national trails. it's a lonely, from-the-top view and feels very impersonal.
  • routine, boredom
  • Sierra Club isn't going to up my hours no matter what
  • I'm kind of hoping for a different (less office-y) kind of work
  • won't get experience in a different area

ice age trail pros

  • more variety
  • travel time
  • work with trails at the ground level
  • maybe develop some leadership skills as a volunteer coordinator or something?
  • connections
  • guarantees me enough work
  • outdoors (hopefully)
  • experience

ice age trail cons

  • 4 bosses
  • confusion,
