Either you're really stupid, lack imagination, or both.
?? No none of the above. There’s really no reason to study environmental science above a core science field.

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.........
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.
Most of what you named is being killed by Musk and Trump, but maybe in 4 years it will be revived
Yeah, this seems more relevant right now

In the field - engineering specially environmental, civil, or mechanical. She’ll be able to find a environmental related job even nowadays with current environment.

Yes but you will need math and the physical sciences to study these problems.
Don't do Env Sci that's too liberal artsy. Are there still Environmental Studies programs out there? Most of them are probably too abstract.
For example, look at this list. More than half is garbage. https://www.middlebury.edu/college/academics/environmental-studies
As long as you load up on Dance classes and Transnational Feminist Conservation, you'll be fine.
