Growing about average (about 4% over 10 years). Estimate.
Low risk for 10 years. Leading kids through creek-stomping and DNA extraction is live, hands-on teaching AI can't do.
Age 16+. One way to start: Apply to summer science camps and after-school programs (museum camps, Mad Science); teens start as junior counselors
Classes: Biology, Environmental science, Speech.
Official data: O*NET occupation 25-3021.
