I'm just wondering- I have a passion for helping the environment- recycling, education others, using less, etc. I've tried looking up jobs for that but it's just like all science... studying plants.. etc. Are there any jobs out there (I don't mind going to school for) that consist of trying to end pollution, global warming, recycling, etc? please help!
Yes there are many jobs out there. You can try organizations such as ECO (environmental careers organization) and Audubon Society and other non-profits. I have a BA in Environmental Studies and an MA in Environmental Science and have worked as an environmental educator, invasive plant weeder, intern for a municipal recycling program, and now I do mostly policy related work (AKA an office job instead of being out in the field all day). There are also government organizations such as the National Park Service or the Environmental Protection Agency that hire people for all sorts of positions. If you are willing to work hard and look hard there are jobs. I also know people who have the same degree and work in retail.
