General quality of life statement

If you've always wanted to be a Planeteer, but had nowhere close to the amount of money needed to create a ring that shoots fire (or to make a shiny man materialize out of thin air), you're in luck.

One of the best aspects of forestry is that you won't need to spend a fortune studying it. Unlike other majors where private schools are king, forestry is one of the majors where state universities have some of the top programs. Whether you're in Minnesota or Texas, you can get a top-quality degree for in-state prices.

Debt has a somewhat inverse relationship with happiness. Or so we hear. So that's nice.

Especially since you'll be making a relatively average salary compared to other college graduates. This, paired with the 61% job satisfaction suggests that the overall expression for this major is…a smile.

And maybe a forest-elf wink.
