Patricia writes: My daughter is interested in a career in environmental science or studies. What careers are available in the private sector and government?
The Career Doctor responds: My best advice for you is to go to the Career Exploration section of Quintessential Careers, where we have several resources, including my favorite “what can you do with a major in …?” Websites.
Here is just a partial list of careers for graduates in environmental studies: agricultural scientist or technician, conservation agent, environmental analyst or technician, EPA inspector, forester, laboratory analyst, naturalist, park ranger, planner (urban or regional), teacher, wildlife manager, and writer — as well as many other careers.
One other good site is Environmental Jobs and Careers.
Finally, you can find a collection of environmental job and career sites in the Jobs in Agriculture, Zoology, and the Environment section of Quintessential Careers.
