Some little boys want to be President, some little girls want to be astronauts, and some kids want to grow up to be super heroes.  The most probable of the three could turn out to be the latter. Here are some environmental careers for those who have a passion for saving the world.

AIR QUALITY SPECIALIST Are you constantly riding your bike to classes and posting flyers for car pools? An air quality specialist works on testing the level of emissions, sources, and new technologies to stop emissions eventually.  Working in this field can range from sciences, technology, to public speaking.

ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGNER Are you front and center at all social functions on campus? An environmental campaigner does the dirty work to get environmentally friendly bills passed, foundations endorsed by famous names, financial loans, and other support for Earth-friendly projects.   Think of this position as a talent manager for Mother Nature.

SAVE THE RAIN FOREST Are you studying abroad? Rain forests have had the world’s attention for decades now, and they still need saving!  Many worldwide foundations like The World Resources Institute have active offices all over the world.  Positions can range from door-to-door petitioning with locals to speaking in court houses with international governments.

If you have an enthusiasm for saving the environment, but have yet to find a major, one of the above could be for you!  If you are already active in the green community, why not get paid for it?  These are ways to turn your hobby or interests into a career!
