<p>What kind of jobs can one get with an environmental science major? How much do internships in the field help in finding a job? How is the general 'job market' right now? Thanks.</p>
<p>Sorry, its environmental studies.</p>
<p>Anyone? (10 char)</p>
<p>check the NSF website, and look under environment they have tons of internship for research and they pay very generously. <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.cfm</a></p>
<p>many corporations (especially those that harm the environment, like big oil and gas companies) now hire enviromental specialist. You should definitely apply to those internships, and they get paid well.</p>
<p>yes, we are in the 'petroleum window' as you may already know, so big oil will pay very well for env studies/geology majors now.....</p>

<p>You can also look at internship and employment opportunities in the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). There are also non-profits like the Sierra Club, Wilderness Society and more.</p>
