[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - dc is poli sci & env science double major [/quote]

Does he like working outside? My DD is an ES major and is applying to internships now. Getting a lot of response (still in interviews with a few companies) but they are largely 80%+ outdoor field work (which is what she wants). My friend's son majored in something environmental related but doesn't actually want to be outside much. Hasn't found a job and now going to grad school. Entry level in env sci really seems to be literally on the ground.

If he's willing to do the outdoor work, resume/cover letter should make the case that he's up to it (e.g. among other experiences, DD lists her ecology camp experience leading multi-day backpacking trips, firefighter ground crew certification, work with chainsaw and other power tools from a summer job with a local park system).

Also, look for internships as well as full time jobs. I know several new grads with ES majors and most of them have started out by doing seasonal/temp, jumping to a new thing every six months or so. [/quote]
