What kind of jobs are available for someone studying environmental science?

Question

i have a particular passion for animals but i would love any job working to help the environment. what kind of jobs are out there?

Answer 1

you can find many jobs such as you can research for global science and work as environment scientist and and also the teacher of  environment science.

Answer 2

My work involves environmental scientists.  They are usually specialist in different fields of biology.  Some are wildlife biologist, some are botanists, others might be microbiologists or even marine biologists.

These specialists contribute their expertise to large studies and projects to document the effects of anthropological influences on the environment.  I contribute to these studies as a coordinator of the scientist so I end up having to know something about each of these specialties, and many more.  I have a degree in Environmental Engineering so I have studied a little in each of these fields.

What kind of jobs?  The bottom starts with field techs, collecting samples, and or data.  Sometimes on the TV you see people rescuing wild animals and such, but that is TV and not what many people actually do.  Other jobs in environmental science include laboratory work analyzing samples (chemistry, microbiology, toxicity, etc...).

Then there are the paper pushers, that's me :=(  All jobs have paper work, you must document what you are planning to do, how you are going to do it, how it is going while you are doing it, what happened when it what done and whether it worked, or not.  Even Steve Irwin had paper work to do.

Answer 3

There is very wide scope for environmental engineering in the near future due to global warming and its effects.

Environmental engineering is a study of nature and you can always find suitable job and you can work with nature and animals.
