How do I switch careers? How do I become a park ranger/forest ranger?

I served 6.5 years in the Navy as a nuclear power officer. My education is in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I’m currently a program manager for a defense contractor. But I don’t enjoy this job. How do I go about becoming a park ranger while supporting my family (i.e. not going back to school)? I know park ranger/ forest ranger jobs are hard to get, and you usually have to take seasonal work with the service, with the hopes of it leading to full time work. Is there any other way? Thanks.
