What are some good jobs that would allow me to go backpacking, and have limited contact with other people?

Something I could start doing after 2 years training in community college or even work my way up from the bottom if I got hired right now, or something I could do after taking a NOLS course? Studying animals, plants, trees, rocks, trail maintenance? Where do I begin? I can’t work with the public or any sort of policing/rangering isn’t my style, nor anything more dangerous than hiking/backpacking. I can’t teach kids or give speeches. I could write reports, make observations, do hard work, but not Sherpa style, and no internships or volunteering which are against my philosophy. Have I whittled it down to nothing?
My philosophy is that I get paid for my efforts in life.
Yeah, not even a clue. I don’t even know where to begin?

What is ‘your philosophy’? Just curious because peacecorps sounds promising….to me anyway.
I know theres places in the Smokey Mountains like around Ober Gatlinburg that will pay you about 200,000 a year to live in a cabin on the mountain to just…well watch the mountain lol…but you pretty much have to stay there…thats about all I know though…don’t know many details about it or how to go about getting hired…I know if they could run dsl/cable out there I might do it lol
