[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any with good employment? That’s dd’s main interest but a tough field.[/quote]

I don't really understand your question.
Your daughter wants a career in environmental science; but you want to know if there are alternative good employment options in what....something that's related to environmental science but not actually environmental science? Or just alternatives to environmental science - which there are hundreds of.....education, music, art, business, non-profit management, social sciences.........[/quote]

I’m trying to figure this out too. My DD is planning to pursue environmental science and not sure why you think that’s a bad idea for yours. There are so many career paths - engineering, research, policy, law, natural resource management, etc. Does someone graduate with an English degree and get a job immediately doing English?Any degree is what you make of it.[/quote]

+1 My DD is also majoring in environmental science. She recognizes that, especially early career, the jobs don't pay that well. But she loves the field and can't imagine doing anything else. She's also naturally very frugal, so I think she'll be fine. She's worked two summers for our county's natural resources management doing invasive species management, trail restoration, wildlife surveys, and anything else that comes up. Classmates have gone on to state, regional, federal (I know those opportunities will be gone for a while) government, nonprofits, consulting firms. Advancement does require a master's so she plans to work a few years and then go to grad school.[/quote]
