This one is totally POST 10, not like that other one. which wasn't post 10.

When you meet someone whilst you're in college one of the first things you're asked is, "What's your major?"  Every time I reply with "Outdoor Recreation Education," they either look at me like "whudja say?" or just say something like "Damn! That's sounds hella easy, I should be doing that." Although it is indeed "hella" fun, it is in no way easy.  I found out after being an Outdoor Rec & Ed major for three years that there is an entire discourse community connected with outdoor recreation.  I think to generalize this and to determine the goals of this discourse community I will tell you my opinion of people of the outdoor recreation education; the one goal that unifies every last person, from climbing instructors to Yosemite tour guides, is that they all want to serve a variety of people and show them the beauties of the outdoors, whether it be from a tree or a river.  Another may be sharing information about the outdoors, not just the environment, but also techniques to complete goals like trail maintenance, or a reverse sweep in a kayak.  There are many ways our discourse community communicates, many blog, or have websites to comment on, there are also specific organizations which hold meetings and gatherings, but I may be getting ahead of myself by talking more specifically about genres.  Many of these sources are great for giving and receiving feedback on work, or just having educated conversations among peers.  There are plenty of different genres which take on my perception of outdoor recreation education being a discourse community, just to name a few; raft guiding, Challenge course helper, SCUBA diver instructor, mountain bike tour guide, caving instructor, etc.  Among these genres are a vast set of technical terms which the educated community would recognize some examples would include "Buoyancy Regulator," "V-Brakes," "Eskimo Rescue," "Juglans Nigra," (Black Walnut) "CEBA," and thousands of other terms.  These words and phrases are not always directly linked to one genre such as climbing, but can also be applied to the vast definition as well, I'm sure most anyone who claims to be an outdoor recreation educator understands the term and organization Leave No Trace.  After naming all of these organizations, genres and terms it is sad to admit that there is a very small threshold for actual outdoor recreation educators.  Because it is such a great field to become involved in many people have decided get involved with this beautiful community.  It is both wonderful and terrifying, though it expands the field in which I love and play it also brings up more competition and more difficulty finding a job.  Either way this is a great discourse community to be a part of.
