I volunteered last Summer because I was/am trying to get a job with Texas Parks and Wildlife and thought it would look good. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun. If you don't mind physical labor and like learning new things, I highly reccomend volunteering. Check out www.austinparks.org for info and pictures.
