One thing to consider would be what agencies (or organizations/companies) you would be applying to and their requirements. For example (and to my knowledge), the USFS likes people having 4 year degrees, most state park ranger positions do not require a degree (although I'm sure it helps). I've found that knowledge is also important. Experience in carpentry, plumbing, electrical, CPR/1st Aid cert., etc...
I'm looking into the same career field, but because of all the "butt-in-seat" courses for environmental degrees (such as fisheries and wildlife management, parks and recreation management, forestry etc..) I decided to try my luck at a criminal justice degree (I'm looking into more of the law enforcement positions).
What's been helping me (since I'm new at this too) is this forums wiki: Degree Forum Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia
It kinda sums up all the basic information so it isn't as overwhelming.
I'm sure you've considered everything I've said already, it seems that you know your way around. It's just cool to connect to someone who is in the same field as I am! Good luck!
