Environmental major/career?

Question

I have absolutely no clue what to do! I took two years off of school, and am ready to go back.

I definitely want something to do with travel, or at least something that will pay enough and be flexible enough to let me travel on my own, and possibly allow me to live in these places.

I really want to do something having to do with the environment and it's protection (however, I'm not too keen on handling snakes and other crawlies, so that's out).

I'm good at writing and math, and love doing both, but hardcore science isn't my cup of tea.

Any and all advice is welcome! Thanks!

Answer 1

Physical Geography

Geology (esp hydrology)

biometrics-essentially bilogical stats.

Answer 2

Environmental science/studies is a great major for someone with good math skills and a desire to help the environment.

Here are some links to some existing programs.

Think about it!

Answer 3

I would agree with  Andrew's answer (thumbs up).  Math is very important.  Conservation, whether water, land or habitat (which sounds like it's not your cup of tea) is also a great way to help the environment.

Noble cause!

Best wishes and Good luck!
