    Biggest regret of my life is getting a BS in Environmental Science. If you want to pursue an, "enviornmental" degree, do yourself a favor and either go into environmental engineering, or get a law degree and specialize in environmental law. Just by adding "engineer" to your name, your salary will increase by $20-30K per year.

      From my research, it seems that industry knowledge may outweigh environmental experience for that kind of position.

So maybe a business major and environmental minor would be appropriate?

    I’m an environmental consultant- remediation work specially. You can either make $55K doing field work, $80-90k doing technical report writing. If you want a decent pay and guaranteed work specialize in air permitting, the CAA (Clean Air Act) rules are convoluted so much so that many people burn out of doing that job, but the pay is decent $100k but that’s probably 5yrs out of college, recent grad I’d say $55-70k. I’ve been in the industry for 8 years now. Safety is where the 💰 is at or RCRA waste profiling but that gets boring too.

They are more open to training people because their salaries are lower. I advise you do “multimedia” meaning learn waste, water, air regulations while in government, move around in the agency if you have to. If you can learn about permitting that’s great because that’s what a lot of good paying environmental jobs do. Good luck. 👍

    Got an Environmental Science degree. Was told it was a high demand career. My professors never got into available job titles, what areas to work in, and what types of companies or government agencies hire you. The truth is, you gotta work for little to no pay for about 5 years, build experience and then compete with all the other graduates for a mediocre paying job. Not a good degree or field to get into. Been looking for career opportunities for the past 5 years without success. It's extremely competitive, few positions required and often seasonal or project based longevity.

    So I’m in grade 11, and I’m interested in studying environmental engineering in university, probably a civil engineering course with a specialisation in environmental studies - but i’m not too sure. It is my passion to help the environment and i want to help the earth and animals, and i love the subject engineering graphics and design, so i feel like environmental engineering would be the best job for me. I also do physics, life sciences and maths core and my grades are very good. I’m not sure if i would have to major in environmental engineering, any thoughts or advice anyone could give me?

      Check the subjects that you will have to study while persuing Environmental Engineering and do some research on what exactly an Environmental Engineer do on day to day basis. This will help you to find your answer.

      Hi, just sharing my personal experience. I'm a final year civil engg student and I also chose to do civil thinking I'll go for an environmental masters. Well, I am going for the masters, but honestly i did not study my subject of civil passionately. My advice to you is, only if you plan on taking interest in a technical degree for the next 4 years of your life and plan on investing your time to actually learn the subject, go for it. But if you see it as a pathway to achieve something else in the end, i'd say you rather you go for a B.Sc in Environment/Physics. That would set you up straight for something you're clear about. I dont know how it is in your country, but here in India, most people do engineering because a lot of career options remain open to them after it, i.e., if the engg doesn't work out for them. Atb!

      Hello guys. I'm from India and I would also like to contribute to this discussion. I studied a 4 year Civil engineering course after my 12th grade. I studied and enjoyed the math, structural engineering, geology, geotechnology, hydrology in the first half of the degree. I came across the environmental engineering in the 3rd year and fell in love with it. Especially water treatment and supply management along with knowledge of hydrology. Then in the second half I studied Construction management, project management, quality control which is more about how you could possibly apply the knowledge in project lr commercial world in case you are onto onw of these roles. But of course, real world has its own guide of operation and not all the theory knowledge is required to the job. Then I stayed home a year, learned GIS and german language, applied to a masters degree in environmental engineering in Germany got admission here. Its been online for 2 semesters now and soon to be offline in 3rd sem. Its good but requires interdisciplinary approach and you will have to learn things that are only very very remotely related to the field, just in case u need that knowledge in future. So just pass thoae subjects so that you can focus more on what is more relevant to you. So ya, keep an open mind.. Don't look too much into the future and live the day one day at a time. All izz well!!

    I work as a Environmental Officer and I collect the DATA, the hydrologist doesn't collect the DATA. Hydrologists aren't just concerned with the Environment, we have to ask them to do work for us that we can use in our Environmental decisions but they don't actually focus on the environment.
    I thought this was supposed to be Environmental jobs not people that we contract to help us with our environmental work. Epic fail, epic fail.

    almost graduating from a environmental physics degree. The degree is very math and physics heavy and rather resembles a geophysics degree due to my program supervisor, but idk if I want to become a geoscientist (or if I even can 😅) or a Hydrologist.

Why didn’t you continue studying environmental engineering?

      I don’t know much about Canada, or how international degree holders attain jobs in North America, but I do know that well-educated scientists are often needed in a variety of fields. I think it would be more complicated to pursue government positions, so I may seek out university, research facility, and private sector positions instead.

    CSO seems like the place to be, but honestly, I think I would rather work in the field instead of focusing on the business part of it. Idk. Maybe Hydrologist, Leed architect, and geoscientist sounds fun. Do you think you can work or create renewable resources besides just having an environmental engineering degree? I’m an undergraduate and a sophomore in this major.

    • @oceanscholar

    I am thinking of going into Enviornmental science/Enviornmental Engineering, Majoring in water quality or careers to do with Hydrology,really just not sure
    There are a lot of subjects that are difficult but I do excel in Biology.I have Diplomas already(Therapy) and thinking of going on to get a Bachelors Degree.
    With your experience and knowledge as a Marine biologist, what career would you say would suit someone who is Introverted,a more Physical,Sporty/Active worker and likes Biology,Water treatment,Planetary Science,Enviornment science,which pays well with a Bachelors
    Thanks.
