[pct-l] Jobs after the Trail

[Abilene B.]

This might sound like an odd question but my friends and family keep telling me how thru-hiking the PCT will make me a more desirable employee when I return. They explain that it will look good on my resume and give me one up on my competition. My career is in parks and recreation, so it seems obvious I guess that it might - but does anyone know how? Has anyone experienced this happening to them after returning and getting a job?
