Green job awareness

What do you want to be when you grow up? We've all heard that question asked of us since we were about 5 years old or so. In my generation (the Boomers), we all wanted to be nurses, astronauts, teachers, or fireman and policeman. The Millinial generation has a much wider spectrum of professions to choose from. Many will find their way into the traditional professions but bringing the new world and technology with them. I'm ever amazed at the great ideas that continue to spring from our new students and graduates as they develop professionally and work to make their chosen academic major fit into the world they want to walk into after graduation.

This generation wants to take care of the planet as they make their way. Going "Green" is the way to go. As this philosophy continues to catch on and grow, the job market is growing with it. The opportunities in environmental fields still include a wide number of the traditional careers; we just do them a bit differently. The eco-friendly awareness continues change the way we do business and the job functions along with them. A rank of professionals is being created to boost the belief of "sustainable sharing" of earth's resources. Check out this resource page http://www.cseindia.org/programme/env_edu/career_plan.htm listed on the Centre for Science and Environment web site to learn more about career planning that keeps the environment healthy.
