<p>If my strong suit is more in critical reading than math would I be more suited to a career in Environmental Law than a scientific profession? Or are there jobs dealing with environmental issues that require good critical reading/ writing/ logic?</p>

<p>If you like the science/math and do it well (enough)the world is your oyster, so to speak. Communication skills are in short supply in many professions, especially in the scientific & engineering world. Scientists who can talk, write, and relate are quite ‘dear’ in my humble opinion. So please pursue science if you like it. Yes, there are plenty of environmental jobs out there for those without science or engineering degrees, BUT you will stand out (more) as a scientist with communications skills. [Yes, I’m a little biased here because this is the number one issue in my field.]</p>

<p>Plenty of opportuntiy out there for someone with those skills. In my field, environmental consulting, the ‘good’ consultants have/need those skills no matter what their undergrad major (sometimes in spite of their major).</p>
<p>Just wanted to say that a discussion like this is CC at its best. Thanks to Papa Chicken and others for taking the time to help educate all of us.</p>
<p>Can anybody give me a list of schools with strong environmental/ outdoor programs?</p>
