<p>I am currently majoring in environmental science, and I don't exactly know what I want to do with it yet. I was thinking a lot about going to the government sector and working with the environmental protection aspect. I was wondering what would be a good minor to pair with my major to make me more marketable, or if a minor would even be necessary? Would another science be helpful like biology or chemistry, or even something with public policy or ethics be helpful? or something completely different from these options? HELP!</p>
<p>If you are set on working for the government, policy would be the best bet. Another good option for nearly every major is business, that would be great as well. Actually, a policy minor would also be versatile even in the private sector, where a lot of environmental scientist jobs I’ve discovered require the knowledge of regulations and such.</p>
<p>Computer science. Much of the growth in environmental science fields requires extensive modelling which requires advanced programming knowledge which often involves a degree in CS. </p>
<p>Make sure to get GIS certified in various areas as most relevant ES internships require it.</p>
