Business/Corporate Careers in Environmental Sustainability

[Naylien]

<p>I'm a sophomore who just did a major-change to a Bachelor's of Science- Environmental Sustainability. I feel uneasy as I have to change my whole mindset about my future now (prior- meteorology), and I was hoping to hear from people. I want to take a business approach to my major. I am able to concentrate in Planning & Management, so I'll be taking several management courses. I also hope to minor in Management Information Systems, which is a lot of computer-work (programming, data analysis, etc.) Because I'm getting a B.S., I'm in engineering calc and engineering physics, which I hear helps boost a resume.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I do plan on talking to an adviser, but I want to hear from other people as well. </p>

<p>(Basically, I hope to work for a large company on their environmental/sustainability issues. I want to monitor how they use their resources and hopefully create a "greener" approach to their company, as I believe alleviating environmental issues needs to happen primarily among large corporations).</p>
