Im not an environmental science major ( I’m a chemical engineer) but I’ve been interning at a waste water treatment plant for 3 years. Really an eye opening experience and I highly recommend it.
@@unravelnature2397 lol I worked during winter and summer breaks from my sophomore year through senior year in an internship related to my field of study where I got paid. That's a good thing, and not too long. Haters gonna hate
@@noras39 I am not your hater, I am your lover, Okay !! what I think is Internship should be of short term and its all about learning new things. 3 years of internship at same company, that sounds not very good. You should keep working for different organization, that's how you learn. sticking to same company for more than 3 company just for internship is a pretty bad. They don't pay as needed, they just want you to work more for low salary.
@@ayman94env yeah... i mean its hard to find what you want, and even harder when you're not finding a job eventhough you love what you're doing. that's the thing im afraid of, hopefully when i graduate i'll find a job.
I’m majoring in political science but specifically environmental policy and science and idk what I wanna do, but environmentalists will be a big thing in the next few years I feel
@@EvelynPaige Hi Evelyn, did you by any chance look into renewable energy? I am considering a career change and perhaps doing a degree in Environmental Science. Here in the UK they plan to go carbon free by 2027 I feel like demand for scientists in the field will grow like never before. What are you thoughts? 🙂
@@msvladyslavap renewable energy, either in the field of technology or policy is a great career field!! We definitely need more people designing it, and more people making sure it is used and implemented:)
I’m a senior in high school and kind of between English and environmental science. The only thing keeping me from environmental science is chemistry I hate hate hate hate chemistry, any advice on what chem is like at university and how to get through it?
Hahah I was choosing between the same majors! At Clarkson you need Chem 1, 2, and Organic Chem and then you are done. I really enjoyed college chemistry because the professors were really fun. I think you just have to change your mindset. If you are into environmental science and helping to save the planet, think about how chemistry is a cool way of understanding the planet, what it needs, and how it works! Also, if you are struggling with a class, you can always go to the TA or Professor’s office and get help!
I'm a first time college student about to enroll in classes but idk what to take. I'm definitely torn between a biology major and an environmental science major because I like the science side of environmental studies, but that major seems pretty limiting in terms of future careers. Do you have any advice on decision making when it comes to this? '''^_^
First year biology and environmental science classes are pretty similar (general bio and chem, maths…) so you don’t need to decide yet:) and there are so many career options with either major
Definitely! My college has minors in renewable energy I think so I would look into that, but also look for internships and co-ops with renewable energy companies! They look for environmental scientists all the time as people who can do environmental assessments, see how the technology is impacting the environment and ecosystems, and help them to comply with environmental laws! If you want to actually be building renewable energy tech, I would look into engineering majors
@@EvelynPaige damnit I knew it. That requires a lot of math and physics skills and that’s gonna be a lot more work than average. Thank you though. Imma look into those other opportunities with internships.
I'm taking Environmental Science this year....I'm still doubted because of lack of knowledge in that course but I really love my surrounding that is why I take this course. Any tips for the beginners, like me??
Just enjoy it and try your best! You are taking a course to learn, so don’t worry about not knowing anything about it - that’s what the class is for:) Ask your teacher lots of questions and don’t be afraid to ask for help
I'm a senior in highschool and I've heard a lot of jobs may have a bad work-life balance, since ppl may have to stay in the field for a while for research purposes. This turns me away from the degree because I want to be able to come home after work every day. I dont know if I'm misinformed, do you know if there are jobs in environmental science (other than education) that have a stable work-life balance and schedule?
Hmm I would have to do more research but I would say definitely yes. It depends on if you want to do research, or if you just want to do sampling or consulting for a company. Working for a company as a scientist and not doing research in a lab or for a university would definitely have more regular hours
An associates is a two year degree vs a 4 year bachelors - I would read up on Park Ranger requirements for the state you want to work in/at the federal level and see what level of education you need:)
Hi, I’m an incoming senior looking to major in environmental science. But I am sort of wary because I’ve heard it’s hard to find a job afterwards. Do you think that I should still pursue this major?
MaryClaire Yabut absolutely! If you love it and want to help make a difference do it! There are so many jobs you can get - it’s such an open and ever growing field! For me, I’m not worried about finding a job, I’m more worried about choosing which direction I want to go in - so many options!
MaryClaire Yabut Just for some extra feedback. It’s an extremely competitive field. Everyone says it’s GROWING, but that doesn’t mean environmental related work requires environmental science majors. It may make way more sense to hire a chemist, an engineer, a lawyer, biologist, and so on. I would think hard on how you want to give back to the environment, and what kind of work you would want to do.
@@EvelynPaige oh thanks. Idk it says online you can, I’ll find out. The reason I was asking is because I really want to go to this university and it only offers environmental science 😅
There are some pretty great universities in Canada, and Canada has amazing natural beauty, so you would be studying the environment in a beautiful place! I go to school in the US, so I don’t know much about Canadian programs

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!
3 years of internship ? paid internship or unpaid. 3 years is too long for doing internship.

Did you have a degree prior to interning ? Or what was the process of acquiring that internship?
I’m also studying environmental science! I’m so happy I found you channel!! Looking forward to more videos ❤️
Aww thank you! I’m glad you found my channel, and yay for a fellow environmental scientist!!!
I'm also studying environmental science!
Where are you from
@@ayman94env Philippines
@@rusticoranges good i'm also studied environmental science but don't found work
@@ayman94env yeah... i mean its hard to find what you want, and even harder when you're not finding a job eventhough you love what you're doing. that's the thing im afraid of, hopefully when i graduate i'll find a job.
@@rusticoranges You have not yet graduated from any school level
Ah thank you!! I feel so much better. Ive been doubting this major since the uni i will go to is entirely geology classes xc

Girl I don’t really know what I want to do either hahah

I did an environmental science major at uwi but to do a renewable energy msc engineering was required.
How's the Environmental degree! any field scope in future?
Mansoor Tariq I love it! I hope to work in policy for the government

What about environmental statistic
Trushna Batham Yes that’s definitely a thing! Might tie into environmental economics
@@EvelynPaige give me more details about it how can l contribute in it. ND get job in it. And in India have scope about it

Jack thank you for that!!! So true
Could I be a environmental engineer with this degree?
You would have to get a master's degree in environmental engineering afterwards. You could just major in environmental engineering!

@@mosafi2978 I'm sure there's a way to make it work! Good luck!
@@EvelynPaige thank you so much!
nice:) it was quite useful thanks
Hey Evelyn! I'm thinking to move Canada for my Bachelor's Environmental science degree. What do you think about it? Any advice would be helpful
