Environmental Science career outlook?

<p>I really want to work in the environmental science field but what are the job outlooks and is a degree in envi sci actually worth something?</p>

<p>There are plenty of job options for those with environmental science degrees. Because environmental sciences is an expanding field, you should expect that there will be a good amount of openings when you are looking for a job in the field. Here’s the Bureau of Labor Statistics info on [Environmental</a> Sciences.](<a href=“http://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/environmental-scientists-and-specialists.htm"]Environmental”>http://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/environmental-scientists-and-specialists.htm)</p>

<p>Options include environmental scientist, park ranger, wildlife biologist, soil scientist, geologist and conversation officer.</p>

<p>Check out this article I wrote on [environmental</a> science job options](<a href=“http://ezinearticles.com/?Three-Jobs-That-Can-Help-Preserve-the-Environment&id=7475170"]environmental”>http://ezinearticles.com/?Three-Jobs-That-Can-Help-Preserve-the-Environment&id=7475170) for more information.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I’m also curious about the worth of majoring in Environmental Science. Based on what I’ve read about Biology and Chemistry, and most other sciences, it makes me think that Environmental Science also “green” fields, but I am still uncertain.</p>

<p>Here’s my question: Is a Bachelors in environmental science enough to get a job as a environmental scientist or something similar?</p>

<p>I’ve been told that while the job market is expanding due to increased global concerns, environmental science typically requires a Master’s degree to get a relevant job (much like how you need a Masters in almost any other science to get a related job.) Is that necessarily true?</p>

<p>A BS degree in Environmental Science is enough to get a job as an Environmental Scientist. A MS degree is helpful and can sometimes open more doors. There are plenty of other factors involved (besides degree level) when it comes to hiring for a position.</p>

<p>There seems to be a decent supply of entry level jobs for environmental science majors when I look here:</p>

<p>Most of them seem very applicable to your field, unlike some majors where your future career might barely use what you learn in school.</p>
