I recently graduated with BA Environment and Business.What is the best way to move 2 an environmental career?

We Answered:

My wife was once a lab manager and I worked in the field. About 15 years ago the whole industry started to collapse and I think it's still scraping bottom.

Many states and the federal government stopped funding big environment projects and there has been few new laws and regulations enacted.

I few people I knew were able to continue doing environmental work with insurance companies. Real estate investors are willing to pay for comprehensive surveys to avoid future lawsuits. Some cities are also investing money into brown fields reclamation projects. I believe there has been one or two private investment firms that have gone into environmental investing such pollution credit trading.

My advice is to be creative and look more on the edges for field than looking for a position in a lab. As one person I know found out, she could make twice as much money doing nails in a beauty salon than testing drinking water for Middlesex County NJ. She had a BA and was working on her Masters degree.

How can I find field work in environmental science?

We Answered:

It's probably better to wait until you have a few ES courses under your belt. That way a company will be more likely to take you on as an intern. Then just search for environmental consulting companies in your area, contact them and explain your background (i.e. ES classes) and that you want to get some experience in field work and see if they'll let you intern. Make sure you specify that you want to do field work, because we usually make our interns do boring stuff like filing!
