First timer here lookin for some wisdom. I have a BS in Arch Studies and after my experience in architectural which i greatly enjoyed and a little bit of work experience I have realized that I want to shift my focus for grad school and my career.
I became really interested in the Environmental aspect of what I was studying... but don't really know where I could take that interest and what types of degrees I should be investigating.
I think something like Environmental Science, Maybe an MBA or Law Degree and then trying to work with a company that is involved with the Green Industry... I dont know.
Obviously I am pretty new at this stuff, but I think a career heading down the lines of the expanding market for sustainability will be what I want to focus on, I just have limited exposure to what types of possibilities are out there.
If you all were trying explore a career in the "environmental (sustainable)" sector, what degrees and career paths would you be looking at?
If I were to have a professional reset button to head into environmental/ sustainability I would look at engineering. What do you like about it? The science aspect, legal aspects, financial aspects, design?... without knowing your interests its hard to point you in a direction. Or is your reasoning only profit driven due to the promise of emerging markets?
If you like the systems/technology, then engineering although it is hard to go into without an engineering undergrad.
I think the appeal is being a part of an emerging market, a market that is untapped and innovative and growing. The science and financial aspects are appeal... I wouldnt want to approach it from an engineering standpoint.
