Looking to pivot career choices into forestry, what would be the best route to take?

Hello,

I live in California and am looking for career alternatives, what would be the best way to get into forestry? I currently have about 3.5 years of experience in working outdoors, one year in the California Conservation Corps and 2.5 years as a Maintenance Aide for California State Parks. I also already have an associates degree but not in a related field. Is it worth going back to school and getting another associates or even bachelors in forestry or would getting a job as a Forestry Aide be my best bet for the long term?

Thank you very much
