I highly recommend doing at least one full term of AmeriCorps. There are a lot of field science/education related programs.
I participated in the Watershed Stewards Project (http://www.ccc.ca.gov/go/wsp) doing salmonid restoration. I gained a variety of skills and experiences, made numerous connections, and no one from my cohort has had a hard time finding a job or getting into grad school. Not to mention the great perks of serving your country for a year: stipend, health insurance, paid interest accrual on federal student loans in forbearance during service, and an education award of $5,550.
