Subject: RE: Passed my exam!Originally posted by mdg2003 Originally posted by dmiller5Originally posted by trijamieWhat are you hoping to work on? I mostly do water quality/stormwater management related things Did this area of expertise require you to take many environmental related course? Reason Im asking is my daughter is in her soph year at college and is leaning towards environmental studies area. She still doesn't have a clear career path or specific job in mind. Do you know of any careers in this field that might tie in with the work you do? She definitely does not want to be an engineer, though her math skills are up to it. Have you worked with, interned or met people with careers in environmental studies? Any advice would be appreciated. I was an civil/environmental engineer major. There was also an environmental technologies major, environmental science and policy etc. Those may require a graduate degree to really advance anywhere, being a planner is a good route. Landscape management and Landscape architecture can also be an avenue into the field as the design/construction of many of the current practices require a knowledge of native plants and plants that can withstand flooding/drought conditions. I found that a good way to figure this out was to go to some professor in that department and ask them how you could enter this kind of career with that major. Its a field that is currently expanding so good choice! |
