Hey Thrym.
Sadly jobs in Forestry are not as plentiful as they used to be. The FC is the main general employer and worth talking to. Other companies are UPM Tillhill and Euroforest, etc. These are large scale harvesting/thinning/forestry operation companies and may give advice on careers.
Jamie6754 and billycan have given a couple of web sites to look at which give you an idea.
Redflex posts here and, I think, is right in the middle of his Forestry degree at Bangor university. He may be worth talking to. This is also a very good uni.
To go forward in todays forestry world and earn a reasonable living is not easy. You need to have good training and qualifications from a recognised university and this is just a start! Most of the people I know, myself included, have been at it for 30 odd years and often came up the hard way. It is not unusual to have two careers with forestry being the second, although not by choice!
The ethos of Forestry doesn't really change, ie to grow sustainable timber resources.
Good luck with your quest.
Swyn.
