What kind of jobs allow you to be outside a lot?

Ever since i was a little kid i loved to be outside, my parents thought i was weird just because i would wake up at 5:30 or 6 in the morning just to go hiking for hours at a time. I have probably hiked around 200 miles out where i live, i love to fish, hike, i love rock climbing, canoeing, even biking (biked 350 miles in the past month and a half), i mean you can tell i absolutely LOVE the outdoors. As of right now i am simply going to college and doing general classes (because i had no idea what i wanted to do out of high school). At first i wanted to do engineering, but that is SO much math and science. And i can do math and science, but i dont think i could go through pre calc, calc 1,2,3 and 4. Statistics, differential equations, principles of physics, classical physics 1,2,3. I mean the list is huggge and to do all those very challenging classes (at least for me) and then to finally get my degree and possibly be stuck inside/ in an office the rest of my life seemed impractical. So now i have set my eyes on doing what i truly love and being outside. I have looked into more environmental things like wildlife management and fisheries, DNR, wildlife and marine biologist, environmental studies (i dont even know what that is), environmentalist. Also outside of the envirnmental side, i looked at firefighting, police officer maybe, drilling for oil would be awesome, logger (not good money, and little demand), contruction. And i really just cant get a read on what those kind of jobs entail. Is there any broad degree for the environment, does anyone out there have ANY of these jobs, do you like them. I want to make enough money so when i move out of my parents house, i can have enough money to live in the country again. So if anyone has any advice on any of these jobs, there salaries, and there degrees. that would be VERY appreciated, because i am sick of not finding answers on google. thanks!
