@@Ela-lz9kk personally I would go for wildlife biology bc that way you could help animals directly rather than through the environment, but do what you love no matter what!❤️
thank you for your videos! having been debating between environmental science and environmental/civil engineering, the science path excites me far more. I'm almost 40 which definitely makes it tough to change careers (electrical eng/mfg and telecom until now) to one which requires a new degree. but I have nothing tying me down and as I said, environmental science truly excites me. gen ed finishes this year, so next year the party begins!
Thank you so so much for this video! I'm nearly 30 years old and I still haven't figured out what to do for a career. I've always been a huge animal lover, I've been vegan for 2 years now, and I'm rediscovering my love for the environment and have found a passion for sustainability. I was thinking about going back to college for nutrition and dietetics (to be a plant based dietician) or getting a psychology degree. But I really do think this is a better fit for me, I'm just not sure exactly what to do. I'll be searching through more of your videos for inspiration! Thanks again. ☺️💚

Getting my bachelors in environmental science and still don’t know what I want to focus onbecause it all sounds so interesting that I wish I can do it all
hi! i was wondering, if i’m in 8th grade rn, what classes should i take in high school if i want to b an environmental scientist? i’m pretty sure i’m gonna join all science related after school clubs that i can, but is there any classes/APs i should be taking? sorry, i’m just a bit lost and i go to a rly hard school. tysm
I was studying ecology and management of natural ecosystems in Morroco. I graduated this year and my dream is to have the courage to make a RUclips channel to be able to educate my community about the importance of the environment and the nature on our well beings and our life as a whole ♥️
This is what my major is, but I’m starting to worry that it will get too challenging for me as I continue my education at college :( I really am passionate about this, but ahhh I’m kinda stressed! Especially with internships
I hope you find something that suits you and makes you happy. Some colleges offer "tracks" like a medical vs. non-medical track. Non-medical track will cut out quite a lot of the more challenging classes like physics and organic chemistry. Our program also offers leniency with internships, for instance, working in a professor's research lab at your college for a summer could count as an internship. I recommend meeting 1:1 with the advisor or coordinator and exploring your options, if you haven't already. Best of luck to you!
I think you should stick with environmental science and finish with that major. I majored in environmental management which is easier but most jobs will not accept people with that major. They only want environmental science, biology, or geology majors for remediation and environmental analyst jobs that are common in my area. It's been 10 years and has been a struggle. I may try to do a masters in Environmental Science.
I’m currently finishing up my environmental protection technology diploma and have decided to Transfer to royal roads university in Victoria for a bachelors in environmental science so I really appreciate the fact that you have some Canada content and are spreading the word
I am currently studying Tourism and Hospitality Management. When Covid-19 hit, the tourism industry stopped. Even for Tourism, I had to learn Environmental Conservation. Without these destinations, there is no tourism. That's when I got so interested in Environmental preservation and Sustainability. I am from Myanmar, where a democratically elected government is detained by the brutal military and inevitable civil war is about to happen. So my school stopped since we boycotted military terrorists. But on the bright side, I got another chance to change my major from Tourism to Environmental Science that a country like Myanmar needs. I am applying for a scholarship now. Hope I can learn the subject I wanted to learn and contribute back to my motherland when this long nightmare finishes. Thanks for all the facts and experiences you shared. I like to grow plants and flowers.
Just applied to SNHU for my environmental science degree today. I love birdwatching, ornithology, insects, fishing, and a long walk in the park helped me realize this was my purpose and makes me feel fulfilled
I would love to study environmental science, I wish I realized this when I was younger. Im 34 now and Im a registered massage therapist I like my job but it causes me so much grief so when ever I start to think about making a career change I think about something along these lines. I have a huge passion for animals and the environment and I wish I knew about all this when I was younger!!!!
I am studying environmental biology, and I'll like to travel the world to see and appreciate the beauty of what we have and help in making it a better place but I don't really know which sector I want to specialize in
No me watching this after already graduating 😭. As much as I love genetics and molecular biology I would love to do more environmental science related research.
I graduated from undergrad with a degree in Biology, took the first job that would pay my bills when I graduated, which ended up being call center work.... I'm still doing the same thing. I want to jump careers so badly, but I definitely talk myself out of applying due to neurological issues that I have--every morning is a surprise as to how I'll wake up feeling. I love watching your videos, definitely gives us a great inside view to your professional world.
Hello Ma'am, I'm following your channel since maybe 6 month although it’s my first comment. Actually you are a great mentor for me cause when I completed my high school study I'm totally confused at that time. Then I search at youtube and found your channel which helps me to acknowledge my future goal.Now I'm staying in Bangladesh, which is my motherland.Hopefully when this covic situation came to undercontrol I can come to Canada and study in my dream subject. Love you from Bangladesh
Thx for the video. I'm planning on going to community college to become an environmental science technician. I've always been passionate about the environment and nature so I think it'll be a good career for me
I am currently switching my major to Environmental Science so this video was super helpful! I’m honestly really worried about the classes and how difficult they will be.. any advice is welcome. I know I am incredibly passionate about the planet & sustainability but I’m so nervous about college and the courses :(
i do a few science like classes and by advice is if you don’t understand something immediately ask, make friends with the ppl in your class to form study groups and even get a tutor to help!! if you don’t ask questions abt something that you’re struggling with then it will be very difficult but ask questions, don’t procrastinate your work, and stay optimistic and you’ll be good! good luck 🍀 💚💚💚
I graduated in 2013 with an environmental science degree and obtained a master's degree in natural resources in 2017. I left the environmental field due to the low pay nature of the positions and constant seasonal work with no benefits. It is also exhausting battling 100+ other applicants for a permanent job. The jobs themselves are rewarding, but after countless hours worrying if I would be able pay rent or if I would have a job in five months, I couldn't do it anymore. I am glad that you were able to make it work and are still excited about the field.
@@monkeydluffy3769 My experience so far is great! It’s a big learning curve with so many environmental problems and it can be gloomy but the more you learn and understand them, the better prepared you can be to solve them too!
I just started my Enviromental Science major yesterday, despite the opposition from my family to follow my passion for animals and nature. I just hope that Wildlife jobs won't be too competitive in the next 4 years
The job market in general is rough out there, but you'll be at the top of your peer group job searching if you do as many relevant internships and research positions as you can during your schooling :)
I'm earning diplomas online in Environmental management and Ecology Studies. Fascinating material indeed. Thank you for spreading the message of importance in climate change. I hope to start up doing something for the environment. Money or not, that doesn't matter to me.

Hi shannon, I wanted to ask if you were able to find a decent enough paying job with that degree. I’m a senior majoring in EVRN studies and I’m contemplating dropping out or not.
@@Shamnez7367 hi! I’m currently not working in the environmental science/studies field at the moment. I’m sure with enough research/finding good mentors you could find a well paying job in that field! Best of luck! :)
I’ve heard that it’s better to get an environmental engineering degree instead of an environmental science degree because it would be easier to find a job with an engineering degree. What is your take on this?
how do you feel about the environment? are you constantly interested and curious to know more about it? do you search about environmental crises frequently? do you feel the urge to always spread awareness about climate change/global warming etc..
Environmental science definitely opposes modern technological , mechanical , industrial , and commercial advancements , as all of these advancements have made our environment becoming like hell like places . Clearing forest to avoid enterference on sattellite communication , with additional human triggered radaitions , industrialization , mining , that degrading the deposited rocks making altitudinal heights of the mountains to lower by erosions , and the lower altitude is the hotter that lacks pressures to liquify evaporated water molecules causing a hastening effect on weathering . Plants are symbiotic twins to animals on give and take relation , but animal kingdom turned out to be pokemon eating everything along the way leaving denuded areas . Chlorophyll and roots are important to create a mountains with the help of wildlife , the deminishing number of perrennial trees which have great difference on osmotic role compared to agricultural plants affected so much on our ecological system to become more hotter . If times comes that therell be no more forest , total pressure and temperature will be concentrated to the planet's core causing phenominal activities that surely devastate our human home
You have helped me so much. I've been watching your videos for a little while now because I am looking for guidance on what I should do/study. I'm currently a junior in college majoring in Biology with a focus on forensics and I'm about to switch to a major in Ecology. Thank you for your honesty in all of your videos and showing what these careers really entail. Your videos have helped me understand things better than anyone else. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing you have a video for every question I have.
Any updates I am applying for universities and colleges and can't deside whether to major in biology or environmental science I like to study anatomy and these stuff but I don't like chemistry a lot any advice?? I want to do biology because I have a patience in medicine but in case I ever changed my mind for medical school am scared it would be too much to handle. Any advice please?? 😅
Currently in my second year at the university of manitoba in integrated biology. I definitely enjoy educating people about WHY they should not dump raw sewage or nitrogen into the lake . Or why not to put salt blocks in the lake to kill off the cattails so they can see better. Though the second one I was actually extremely pissed about.
Ive always wanted to become a wildlife biologist, my passion is in conservation and the studying of ecossystems my issue is the lack of jobs that i see thag are not in a lab analising samples, here in portugal we have near 0 wildlife biology jobs the only jobs available are related to programming and eletrical mecanics its depressing
I am an incoming freshman for this course. I enrolled to it as I planned to specialize in Meteorology or Geology but I worry about my Biology and Chemistry, I am honestly bad at those subjects
Thank you such this kind of video I've been looking for ever since I take environmental science as my course in college 😊 BTW I'm freshmen student in the philippines taking this course 😊
Thank you so much! This vid somehow reminds me to keep motivated despite from all the negative comments of some people around me who said that this field isn't for me. I hope to see more videos of you sharing info about this field 💕
As much as I wanted to study Environmental Science, the thought of not having a job after I graduate because of all the student debt always overpower my passion for the environment.😬 Sad life but it’s true.
@@Christian-vv4hm it ain’t easy to win scholarships, especially when you only moved to a new country a few years ago. Hoping to land a job related to the environment tho in the future
@@captainoreo I am a freshman too but not majoring in environmental science. The uncertainties can be a big thing in becoming an environmental scientist. However, once you get a good job, then it’s all worth it. Personally, it’s not worth the risk yet for me. I hope you’ll do great in the future!
I'm very passionate about animal care, I'm debating doing an Environmental Science Degree, but throughout school science was definitely NOT my strong point. I'm not very good at maths either. I really don't know what to do. I'm clueless! I care about the environment so much, but I just don't think I'm academically smart enough for the degree.
The gospel of environmental science should be spreaded up to local levels. So everybody in his or her life sector be fully assimilated with what environment and climate change mean to Earth's life.

Hi Kristina, I’m currently a senior majoring in EVRN Studies B.S, will this degree get me a job in the field or office? Im contemplating on finishing or dropping out. Ive always wondered if it will be worth it or not.
Honestly, I am more interested in the legal stuff. If Math skills were better I would consider one of the sciences. I am better at the Legal stuff. I am planning to take Environmental Practices it deals with more laws and regulations. Their is one course where their is some basic Math course that deals with population growth rate. I had to figure that out in one of my Business classes but it’s been so long I forget which one. I have did Business courses for 7 years it’s getting a little stale. I always wanted to take Environmental Studies from the very beginning but I am a disabled citizen. The programs they have are mostly outdoors and physically taxing. I get fatigued easily. It wasn’t until last year I seen the certificate for Environmental Practices that’s all online that maybe I could do something in Environmental Studies. I took Environmental Law & Regulations and Natural Resource Law last year. They are basically the same thing but cover different laws and regs. I was going to take French 1 because it might help since their are a lot of Environmental jobs in government in Canada but I may move it until the summer because of the whole Math situation.
I just got accepted into Unity environmental college located in Maine for a bs in "Environmental Studies" I may further it. I didn't see a bachelor's for "environmental science" but I saw on their site about studying to get a master's towards "environmental science and sustainability." I'd like to be a park naturalist or park ranger or maybe even both since, park rangers are naturalists, too. Does my choice of studies seem like a good choice? I know there's many other earth sciences I could study like conservation law, environmental management, ecology, biology, etc! Do you know if the one I chose to study would be right for what I want to do?
Please could you tell me what major did you take.. because I completely relate with you. I want to take a field that is close to my heart not for money. What major did you take where you had this field work, animal care and learning to create safer environment with less pollution? As Environmental Sciences is a really broad field..
You have lots of really helpful information in the realm and I was wondering if you know anything of sustainable/alternative living methods like building eco friendly buildings or houses, kind of career?
I can’t even say how helpful this was. I just switched to environmental science because i have a passion for animals. There is not one animal specifically that I only want to help.

@@Ela-lz9kk personally I would go for wildlife biology bc that way you could help animals directly rather than through the environment, but do what you love no matter what!❤️
@@Patrice786 same, thanks. I want to be a wildlife biologist! Good luckk sis❤️
thank you for your videos! having been debating between environmental science and environmental/civil engineering, the science path excites me far more. I'm almost 40 which definitely makes it tough to change careers (electrical eng/mfg and telecom until now) to one which requires a new degree. but I have nothing tying me down and as I said, environmental science truly excites me. gen ed finishes this year, so next year the party begins!
Thank you so so much for this video!
I'm nearly 30 years old and I still haven't figured out what to do for a career. I've always been a huge animal lover, I've been vegan for 2 years now, and I'm rediscovering my love for the environment and have found a passion for sustainability.
I was thinking about going back to college for nutrition and dietetics (to be a plant based dietician) or getting a psychology degree. But I really do think this is a better fit for me, I'm just not sure exactly what to do. I'll be searching through more of your videos for inspiration! Thanks again. ☺️💚
hello, how is it going? I am a person who is in the same situation just like you.
Heh kristina best regards from Nepal. I am an environment science bachelor graduate and planning to apply to the US for my masters degree. I am a really passionate individual when it comes about plants, animals and the environment as a whole. Thank you soo much for this video. It is really informative.
Glad to see person from nepal commented❤
I was very confused about choosing microbiology or environmental science... I need to get to the conclusion 💚
I’m 22 and considering Wildlife science
I just completed my associate's in sustainability \ environmental studies! Here for ideas on what to do next lol thank you for the information!
Just finished my environmental degree. I love environmental science 🙌🏾
Is it easy to find employment?
I'm going to apply to uni to study zoology in 2 years . Need to get some grades first though . Wanna study spiders and their habitats
Getting my bachelors in environmental science and still don’t know what I want to focus onbecause it all sounds so interesting that I wish I can do it all
hi! i was wondering, if i’m in 8th grade rn, what classes should i take in high school if i want to b an environmental scientist? i’m pretty sure i’m gonna join all science related after school clubs that i can, but is there any classes/APs i should be taking? sorry, i’m just a bit lost and i go to a rly hard school. tysm

I was studying ecology and management of natural ecosystems in Morroco. I graduated this year and my dream is to have the courage to make a RUclips channel to be able to educate my community about the importance of the environment and the nature on our well beings and our life as a whole ♥️
Thank you for this! I am currently thinking about switching my degree to environmental science and this video has really helped in my decision making.
This is what my major is, but I’m starting to worry that it will get too challenging for me as I continue my education at college :(
I really am passionate about this, but ahhh I’m kinda stressed! Especially with internships
Maybe you could try environmental studies, very similar but more justice and social science focused!!
I hope you find something that suits you and makes you happy. Some colleges offer "tracks" like a medical vs. non-medical track. Non-medical track will cut out quite a lot of the more challenging classes like physics and organic chemistry. Our program also offers leniency with internships, for instance, working in a professor's research lab at your college for a summer could count as an internship. I recommend meeting 1:1 with the advisor or coordinator and exploring your options, if you haven't already. Best of luck to you!
We have all been here! Even if you chose a simpler path, you would’ve felt like this at one point. Stay strong and stay confident ❤️
@@lalunamoon5711 thank you so much 💜
I think you should stick with environmental science and finish with that major. I majored in environmental management which is easier but most jobs will not accept people with that major. They only want environmental science, biology, or geology majors for remediation and environmental analyst jobs that are common in my area. It's been 10 years and has been a struggle. I may try to do a masters in Environmental Science.
I'm currently taking intro to climate change and my eco-anxiety is through the roof!
Are you learning it in college or from free online sources?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU ARE EXCELLENT
.. GOD BLESS YOU NOW!
I’m currently finishing up my environmental protection technology diploma and have decided to Transfer to royal roads university in Victoria for a bachelors in environmental science so I really appreciate the fact that you have some Canada content and are spreading the word
Oh cool! Royal roads is such a nice campus 🌊
I am currently studying Tourism and Hospitality Management. When Covid-19 hit, the tourism industry stopped. Even for Tourism, I had to learn Environmental Conservation. Without these destinations, there is no tourism. That's when I got so interested in Environmental preservation and Sustainability. I am from Myanmar, where a democratically elected government is detained by the brutal military and inevitable civil war is about to happen. So my school stopped since we boycotted military terrorists. But on the bright side, I got another chance to change my major from Tourism to Environmental Science that a country like Myanmar needs. I am applying for a scholarship now. Hope I can learn the subject I wanted to learn and contribute back to my motherland when this long nightmare finishes. Thanks for all the facts and experiences you shared. I like to grow plants and flowers.
Every thing you say is on point!! This helps me really pursue envi sci and I'm more excited than scared of knowing the doom and gloom side of this 😀
Haven’t watched yet but yay! This feels like a video made for me, thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Just applied to SNHU for my environmental science degree today. I love birdwatching, ornithology, insects, fishing, and a long walk in the park helped me realize this was my purpose and makes me feel fulfilled
I would love to study environmental science, I wish I realized this when I was younger. Im 34 now and Im a registered massage therapist I like my job but it causes me so much grief so when ever I start to think about making a career change I think about something along these lines. I have a huge passion for animals and the environment and I wish I knew about all this when I was younger!!!!
it’s not too late to make the change !!!!
You can do it! The time will pass anyway so it doesn't matter the “age“... You are limitless even more reason to go get it! Live your dreams ❤
Same here I’m 29 and ima start soon plus I was in AP environment science in high school but forgot about it lol
I am studying environmental biology, and I'll like to travel the world to see and appreciate the beauty of what we have and help in making it a better place but I don't really know which sector I want to specialize in
No me watching this after already graduating 😭. As much as I love genetics and molecular biology I would love to do more environmental science related research.
Do a master about what you love then!😉
I just finished my Environmental Science homework and RUclips recommend me this. This is helpful 🙏
I graduated from undergrad with a degree in Biology, took the first job that would pay my bills when I graduated, which ended up being call center work.... I'm still doing the same thing. I want to jump careers so badly, but I definitely talk myself out of applying due to neurological issues that I have--every morning is a surprise as to how I'll wake up feeling. I love watching your videos, definitely gives us a great inside view to your professional world.
Your videos are great resources for college students!!! Thank-you for doing this!! **from an enviro-science student ucsc**
Hello Ma'am,
I'm following your channel since maybe 6 month although it’s my first comment. Actually you are a great mentor for me cause when I completed my high school study I'm totally confused at that time. Then I search at youtube and found your channel which helps me to acknowledge my future goal.Now I'm staying in Bangladesh, which is my motherland.Hopefully when this covic situation came to undercontrol I can come to Canada and study in my dream subject.
Love you from Bangladesh
All the best! Thank you :)
I have debated majoring in environmental science and after watching this I am a bit more intrigued. Thank you
Same
this was so insightful, and answered so many of my questions that other videos just haven't been answering. really appreciated this.
Thx for the video. I'm planning on going to community college to become an environmental science technician. I've always been passionate about the environment and nature so I think it'll be a good career for me
So confused with career but every of u r video push my decision to environmental science 😇
I am currently switching my major to Environmental Science so this video was super helpful! I’m honestly really worried about the classes and how difficult they will be.. any advice is welcome. I know I am incredibly passionate about the planet & sustainability but I’m so nervous about college and the courses :(
i do a few science like classes and by advice is if you don’t understand something immediately ask, make friends with the ppl in your class to form study groups and even get a tutor to help!! if you don’t ask questions abt something that you’re struggling with then it will be very difficult but ask questions, don’t procrastinate your work, and stay optimistic and you’ll be good! good luck 🍀 💚💚💚
Yes I also want to become environmental Scientist and want to improve whole world
Your energy is uplifting and contagious ✅
I graduated in 2013 with an environmental science degree and obtained a master's degree in natural resources in 2017. I left the environmental field due to the low pay nature of the positions and constant seasonal work with no benefits. It is also exhausting battling 100+ other applicants for a permanent job. The jobs themselves are rewarding, but after countless hours worrying if I would be able pay rent or if I would have a job in five months, I couldn't do it anymore. I am glad that you were able to make it work and are still excited about the field.
Hey do you not recommend going for environmental science then ?? What did you go with after leaving this field then ?
I’m studying environmental science! 😊😊🌍
How is your experience
Yea can you please share your experience
@@monkeydluffy3769 My experience so far is great! It’s a big learning curve with so many environmental problems and it can be gloomy but the more you learn and understand them, the better prepared you can be to solve them too!
What kind of jobs will you like to do after your studies ?
i fell in love with this major 3 years ago, then i went vegan! its honestly life changing
It is!
Why’d you go vegan? Veganism isn’t as beneficial to the environment on a large scale as much as people think it does.
I just started my Enviromental Science major yesterday, despite the opposition from my family to follow my passion for animals and nature. I just hope that Wildlife jobs won't be too competitive in the next 4 years
The job market in general is rough out there, but you'll be at the top of your peer group job searching if you do as many relevant internships and research positions as you can during your schooling :)
I'm earning diplomas online in Environmental management and Ecology Studies. Fascinating material indeed. Thank you for spreading the message of importance in climate change. I hope to start up doing something for the environment. Money or not, that doesn't matter to me.
im about to apply for this degree and this video made me tear up thinking about how much of an impact I or anyone in the field could have on the future of this planet. I think im gonna shoot for it!
as a recent graduate from college with an environmental studies degree, i found this video very helpful! excited to watch more of your videos! thanks for sharing :)
Hi shannon, I wanted to ask if you were able to find a decent enough paying job with that degree. I’m a senior majoring in EVRN studies and I’m contemplating dropping out or not.
@@Shamnez7367 hi! I’m currently not working in the environmental science/studies field at the moment. I’m sure with enough research/finding good mentors you could find a well paying job in that field! Best of luck! :)
I always love your videos. I'm just struggling to find a big kid job in wildlife biology with minimal experience. I goofed up in college.
thank you I am subscribed and looking forward to more content. Thank you so much for all the beautiful work you do.
I’ve heard that it’s better to get an environmental engineering degree instead of an environmental science degree because it would be easier to find a job with an engineering degree. What is your take on this?
Did you ever find feedback on this?
how did you realize that the environment was your strong suit? I want to study environmental science, but I can't tell if I'm well suited for it
how do you feel about the environment? are you constantly interested and curious to know more about it? do you search about environmental crises frequently? do you feel the urge to always spread awareness about climate change/global warming etc..
Environmental science definitely opposes modern technological , mechanical , industrial , and commercial advancements , as all of these advancements have made our environment becoming like hell like places . Clearing forest to avoid enterference on sattellite communication , with additional human triggered radaitions , industrialization , mining , that degrading the deposited rocks making altitudinal heights of the mountains to lower by erosions , and the lower altitude is the hotter that lacks pressures to liquify evaporated water molecules causing a hastening effect on weathering . Plants are symbiotic twins to animals on give and take relation , but animal kingdom turned out to be pokemon eating everything along the way leaving denuded areas . Chlorophyll and roots are important to create a mountains with the help of wildlife , the deminishing number of perrennial trees which have great difference on osmotic role compared to agricultural plants affected so much on our ecological system to become more hotter . If times comes that therell be no more forest , total pressure and temperature will be concentrated to the planet's core causing phenominal activities that surely devastate our human home
I wish I knew about this major before graduating with a business major!
You have helped me so much. I've been watching your videos for a little while now because I am looking for guidance on what I should do/study. I'm currently a junior in college majoring in Biology with a focus on forensics and I'm about to switch to a major in Ecology. Thank you for your honesty in all of your videos and showing what these careers really entail. Your videos have helped me understand things better than anyone else. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders knowing you have a video for every question I have.
So glad to help!
Any updates I am applying for universities and colleges and can't deside whether to major in biology or environmental science I like to study anatomy and these stuff but I don't like chemistry a lot any advice?? I want to do biology because I have a patience in medicine but in case I ever changed my mind for medical school am scared it would be too much to handle. Any advice please?? 😅
Your video speaks to my soul. Love your energy
I just applied yet I really want to be out in the field. I've always had a knack in biology and love animals as well as plants.
Currently in my second year at the university of manitoba in integrated biology. I definitely enjoy educating people about WHY they should not dump raw sewage or nitrogen into the lake . Or why not to put salt blocks in the lake to kill off the cattails so they can see better. Though the second one I was actually extremely pissed about.
Wow, I shouldn't even be surprised anymore that people do that, but WOW :(
any text book recommendations for me to get ready to study for that major? which books should i buy for that major in new jersey students?
I agree with the others. Your video is very helpful. Thank you.
Ive always wanted to become a wildlife biologist, my passion is in conservation and the studying of ecossystems my issue is the lack of jobs that i see thag are not in a lab analising samples, here in portugal we have near 0 wildlife biology jobs the only jobs available are related to programming and eletrical mecanics its depressing
I am an incoming freshman for this course. I enrolled to it as I planned to specialize in Meteorology or Geology but I worry about my Biology and Chemistry, I am honestly bad at those subjects
This is encouraging, also middle age doing the same.
Thank you such this kind of video I've been looking for ever since I take environmental science as my course in college 😊 BTW I'm freshmen student in the philippines taking this course 😊
Thank you for making videos on environmental science! Very important to me
Thank you for this video it really helps, because i want to apply environmental science in college.
Im currently taking this as my bachelor!!
Is it fun?
Thank you so much! This vid somehow reminds me to keep motivated despite from all the negative comments of some people around me who said that this field isn't for me. I hope to see more videos of you sharing info about this field 💕
Glad I could help! If you enjoy the types of work and love the planet then this field is for you!
Don't listen to the Negative Nancys....No one can decide for you your future or career.
Brilliant initiative. Very well done.
As much as I wanted to study Environmental Science, the thought of not having a job after I graduate because of all the student debt always overpower my passion for the environment.😬 Sad life but it’s true.
look for scholarships if you are to worry about debts.
@@Christian-vv4hm it ain’t easy to win scholarships, especially when you only moved to a new country a few years ago. Hoping to land a job related to the environment tho in the future
as someone who's a freshman studying environmental studies/science, this is my biggest worry and why i'm thinking of changing my major :(
@@captainoreo I am a freshman too but not majoring in environmental science. The uncertainties can be a big thing in becoming an environmental scientist. However, once you get a good job, then it’s all worth it. Personally, it’s not worth the risk yet for me. I hope you’ll do great in the future!
@@ryconblaire9113 thank you! same to you!
Thinking about getting my masters in it.... fav part in my bs in bio was animal behavior.... I do also live in co
Should I do it?
I'm very passionate about animal care, I'm debating doing an Environmental Science Degree, but throughout school science was definitely NOT my strong point. I'm not very good at maths either.
I really don't know what to do. I'm clueless! I care about the environment so much, but I just don't think I'm academically smart enough for the degree.
The gospel of environmental science should be spreaded up to local levels. So everybody in his or her life sector be fully assimilated with what environment and climate change mean to Earth's life.
I’m applying to study environmental science
thank you, I really really needed this
Thank you very much... Your videos made my path clear about what l should choose.... In science 💜
How competitive is the climate/ecology/environmental fields
I want to be a part of improving the climate
Thank you for this video! You make me compelled to have a biology degree!
This was so amazingly helpful!
Hi Ma’am, I have an undergrad degree in biological sciences (Biomed) and I’m almost done with my masters in Biotechnology. I am very interested and curious about nature and wildlife. Is there anything I can do with my Biotech degree in relation to wildlife? Thanks.
Hi, I am engaged in beaver protection in Xinjiang, China. However, due to the lack of professional knowledge in wildlife and environmental science, I plan to go to Canada to study environmental science, and I plan to accumulate one among relevant enterprises. I returned to Xinjiang after some work experience. Excuse me, what are the employment prospects of Germany after graduating from the major of environmental protection?
Is environmental science a tough career for those who look for a job? I'm sick of negative response..
Hi kristina I am studying to bacome a zoologist and a ecologist and I would love to study environmental science I go out to recycle in my area I just study a lizard that I found in my garden called "Eastern garden lizards" anyway bye
Can you please briefed about environmental science syllabus means subject with pathway program in masters
It doesn’t matter what path you take, at the end, every science goes to environmental... or if is not, please name me one that doesn’t...
Political Science

Hey there , Aloha! Your videos are so helpful. I've watched a few. Do you have any videos about Jobs ppl with an Associates in Environmental Science can get? I'm presently almost done with my Associates in Enviro Science. Next, I'm going to get my bachelors in Enviro Studies minor in Business admin. Thanks! Cheers
What if we want to focus on prioritizing the policies that are set aside? What major would you suggest? Is PoliSci helpful?
here, an environmental science student from Spain.
I would like to specialize in biodiversity conservation,
any advice?
Hi Kristina, I’m currently a senior majoring in EVRN Studies B.S, will this degree get me a job in the field or office? Im contemplating on finishing or dropping out. Ive always wondered if it will be worth it or not.
Honestly, I am more interested in the legal stuff. If Math skills were better I would consider one of the sciences. I am better at the Legal stuff. I am planning to take Environmental Practices it deals with more laws and regulations. Their is one course where their is some basic Math course that deals with population growth rate. I had to figure that out in one of my Business classes but it’s been so long I forget which one. I have did Business courses for 7 years it’s getting a little stale. I always wanted to take Environmental Studies from the very beginning but I am a disabled citizen. The programs they have are mostly outdoors and physically taxing. I get fatigued easily. It wasn’t until last year I seen the certificate for Environmental Practices that’s all online that maybe I could do something in Environmental Studies. I took Environmental Law & Regulations and Natural Resource Law last year. They are basically the same thing but cover different laws and regs. I was going to take French 1 because it might help since their are a lot of Environmental jobs in government in Canada but I may move it until the summer because of the whole Math situation.
I just got accepted into Unity environmental college located in Maine for a bs in "Environmental Studies" I may further it. I didn't see a bachelor's for "environmental science" but I saw on their site about studying to get a master's towards "environmental science and sustainability." I'd like to be a park naturalist or park ranger or maybe even both since, park rangers are naturalists, too. Does my choice of studies seem like a good choice? I know there's many other earth sciences I could study like conservation law, environmental management, ecology, biology, etc! Do you know if the one I chose to study would be right for what I want to do?
Please could you tell me what major did you take.. because I completely relate with you. I want to take a field that is close to my heart not for money. What major did you take where you had this field work, animal care and learning to create safer environment with less pollution? As Environmental Sciences is a really broad field..
You have lots of really helpful information in the realm and I was wondering if you know anything of sustainable/alternative living methods like building eco friendly buildings or houses, kind of career?
Hi Kristina, I do study environmental science. How can I become an environmental scientist?
