- The top 8 highest paying environmental science jobs and salaries to go with each.
As you watch this video, I think it's important to understand that although these jobs are high paying, they aren't meant for everyone. There are millions of careers in the world, and if your main career goal is protecting the environment, I guarantee there are thousands of jobs outside of these you will find a lot of fulfillment in! This video was made simply to spread the word that high paying jobs in enviormental science do indeed exist.
With that being said, in this video I go over, in detail, high paying jobs in environmental science, highest paying jobs with a bachelors degree, and environmental science jobs that may require a bit more specialization. Some might even call these jobs the BEST environmental science jobs, although, like I mentioned above, money does not equal employee satisfaction. Several of these jobs are environmental science major careers, although you might be surprised to see the variety in education backgrounds.

@@karabompolamodiba2816 tell us more!🙂
Thank you
Biggest regret of my life is getting a BS in Environmental Science. If you want to pursue an, "enviornmental" degree, do yourself a favor and either go into environmental engineering, or get a law degree and specialize in environmental law. Just by adding "engineer" to your name, your salary will increase by $20-30K per year.
do you think a masters would be better?
Totally agree. Hydrology was in my course but all the jobs look for "Water Engineer" or Civil Engineer. Wrong degree.
@@vienna2404 it could. But if you are going to stay in the field, engineering is the best option. More opportunities and better money.
would you say it’s a bad idea to get a BS in environmental science and then go to law school and specialize in environmental law?
also @ Jason Shackelford, what jobs have you worked with that degree/ what was the first job you got out of college?
I'm on my way to becoming an environmental lawyer! Hope to meet like-minded people. :)
Yay! All the best luck to you!
Is there a career in the environment field that is just about researching and looking at water and stuff
@@chaeun-woon8405 hydrologist you mean?
Best of luck!
I'm thinking of doing a dual degree program in Environmental Law and Community/Regional Planning with an emphasis in sustainable design. It's cool to hear you're on your way to be an environmental lawyer! How is that going for you?
working as a sustainable consult or head of sustainability at a fashion company is exactly what i want to do post college!! i’m so happy to know its relevant
I’m also thinking about being head of sustainability in a Fashion company but not sure what to directly major in? Would it be In environmental studies or fashion business management? Lmk what you think I’m a little confuseddddddddd
That's great!!
From my research, it seems that industry knowledge may outweigh environmental experience for that kind of position. I would think that a fashion company would be more likely to hire someone that knows more about fashion business than the environment. So maybe a business major and environmental minor would be appropriate?
Thats good 👍
Sheins ive heard has been a big company that could be a danger for the environment
I'm am environmental science major working toward environmental law. My main focus has been Lake Eries water contamination. I hope to bring scientific solutions and policy changes. I'm grateful to be here with like minded people. 💜
Have you studied environmental chemistry as well?
Could you please tell me how did you get into law school for this?
Found this helpful as a ucsc enviro-sci student, thanks ! The extra comments on top of the career overviews were really helpful !
Love the way he ends this video
This is a great list! Out side of the world of environmental science but still in the world of environmental studies you can also be an environmental data analyst, environmental consultant, environmental manager or environmental health and saftey specialist. There is also environmental risk managers. Really high paying careers but are so competitive basically like any other job right now outside of health care
Environmental health and safety specialist sounds so good to me! Would you just need a Bachelors in Environmental Science or something else?
@@nataliyachepurnova29 you would probably need a masters but you also need to pass exams when you are done with school
Wow thanks!
what undergrad major would you recommend for these types of jobs? environmental studies or envs sci? im a senior in high school and these seem super cool!!
@@chxrrycafe you can study environmental policy and sustainability management!! That is what im getting my masters in (will graduate in a few weeks) be sure to take a GIS class and a data visualization class. Not saying you should become an environmental analyst at all! I personally am going into food. Still! What you learn in those classes are really valuable and they not usually core courses. You can also study environmental engineering if you like stem. Personally i LOVE environmental policy.
RUclips algorithm blessed me today 🙏🏼 awesome video!!
I have been continuously trying to complete a biology degree. This video really opened my eyes to how this environmental science is utilized. I think this is more my speed. Thank you so much for the information!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to create some similar videos soon!
Much love from Nigeria, a student in my fourth year studying Environmental health science
Nice to know you ..am also EHS student from Nigeria
Same here bruh
Planning on studying EHS,can please tell me more about it.
Well researched information. Bravo! Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this! About to graduate, so very helpful :)
Thank you. Thank you so much brother. Bless you! Love what you're doing
Thank you for this video! SUPER helpful!
Envirmental lawyer seems great! Well paid and you can really help the environment
This video was incredibly helpful for me! PS.. loved your digs at the CSO to have some sort of environmental background 😂
Great informative video. Well edited. Thanks for posting! Keep it up
thanks so much!
This has to be the most unenvironmental environmental science career list I've seen
All of them still have a direct impact on the environment 🤷🏼♂️ the degree to which it's positive is up to the person in that role
hence the part where they’re highly paid…
Does “environmental” mean outside to you? Lol
The YT algorithm has done well for once😌 Thanks for the video
Very interesting!! I'm an Environmental Science Major, checking my career options. I'm so excited! 🙏💖
That's awesome! I hope this was helpful then!
Hey, I'm from India. I have done M.Sc. in botany can you tell me job opportunity in this field
@@anuraglasure I'm looking to make my way into the Energy and Agricultural field.
@@iracircosa8890 can u see job
Omg, love this soo much!!! Thank you, I feel so lost at the moment due to a recent calling and need to switch careers. Here I am thinking it's impossible but now your video gave me hope. I see a way now.
Thanks!!! ❤❤❤
Ahhh I’ve found my people! Thank you for this great video, it really broadened my perspective!
Thank you so much this helped a lot!
I'm glad it helped!
Helpful content. Thank you:)
Thanks for this video! It was so helpful :)
Aw I'm glad is was!!
Thank you for this. It’s was excellent!! Could you do videos focusing on careers in sustainability in business? Bwt…I love all of your content. You’re very clear, concise & don’t waist time on BS. ❤❤
This is a cool video! I am tentatively aiming to pursue a career at a post secondary institution so this video was super informative and it was nice seeing a full university professor on your list. I'm only in my first year of a Bach of environment and sustainability so yeah 😅
I just became an incorporated company and am going to grow my business plan to the point where I am the Cheif Sustainably Officer. I will be the mentor for people that I needed throughout my career.
I'm going to study environmental geoscience at uni because I'm passionate abt preventing climate change and maintaining the environment, but it's nice to know there are employment options out there :)
what job do u want ??
This has been helpful, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
I'm going to show this video to all my students. Thank you for making it!
This was so helpful thank you! Currently in my penultimate year of Enviro. Sci and thinking about pursuing my masters in a business field so thanks for the insight!
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Truly Awesome video , Superb info
Great job descriptions. Im interested in urban planning. I did not know it was an environmental position. thanks
Thank you! And definitely! Urban planning plays a major role in the overall environmental "friendliness" of urban landscapes.
Helping my son with deciding between Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering. We know the difference, but I'm curious why you were just in the Engineering track for a brief time, what you switch to, and why you chose engineering at first. thank you.
Thank you for the video!
I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for this information. I've actually concluded that I want to study environmental science next year, after I have graduated for my Urban and Regional Planning degree. I've actually gave me a better hope that I shouldn't hesitate what I'm thinking
Do you think these apply to south africa as well? Because I'm studying BA in environmental management but after I am done with this degree I want to study Bsc honours in environmental sciences. But do you think in this country we would get these high salaries as well? I really need to be financially stable
@@blessingmamabolo1682 I doubt we would get these high salaries but I think the hierarchy might still be similar and maybe it will be wise for us to apply for jobs outside of South Africa
@@bokamosomatheba9942 we definitely should be open to working abroad😭.
I don’t remember when i went environmentally friendly but when i was at high school in 10th grade (2 -3 years ago) i made a whole project about chief sustainability officer and the income that came with it. And presented it to my professors and the history teacher mocked me and tried to make me look like a joke too bad for her i had my facts and brought up her scandal I received a 2.4 from her and 8.9+ from the other professors
An environemntal engineer must have knowledge not only in math and physics! but also in chemistry and biology
Very helpful!
Loved this video! Thanks for making this. This video gave me some direction to look towards as I am currently a grade 11 student and am really confused about what I want to do in the future as I like office jobs but LOVE the environment and want to do something with that too and so Environmental Law and Chief Sustainability Officer sounded really interesting to me! Thanks again this video was very helpful! 😊
I'm so glad you found it useful :)!
@@oceanscholar please make a video for non-science students in this field of environment and sustainability management.
How’s it going?
I thought you would include some conservation officers /Directors etc positions too. Overall it’s an informational video. Thanks!
Wow thanks a lot.
Video idea for the future.
What do you think about Environmental Management? That is being an environmental manager.
A proud environmentalist from Kenya Msc. environmental studies (climate change & sustainability)
What job are you doing now
I'm gonna be a 1st year college student in August and my course is environmental science. I hope I can do it with all my best and get a job that will satisfy my needs and be happy with it 💖
Im torn between geoscientist and hydrologist. I love knowing about water but after geol102 and learning about the eons. Like gosh i loved that too.
environmental engineering might combine those two!
I'm sure jobs exist that combine the two of those since they're so similar! When it comes time to search for jobs, I'm sure the specific jobs you find will help you make the decision.
Look up hydrogeology :) Might be something you would like! I would suggest majoring in geology and taking classes that are specific to hydrogeology. There usually are. Hope it helps and good luck!
@@Katatatatattack thank you for your comment! Everyone else too! I was at a dilema, the degree at the uni i signed up for (EES) is basically electives of geology classes. No biology or statistics..pure geology. They also have a geology degree but has more higher classes of geology. That uni is recognized for its health and dance majors. So earth science isnt their strong suite.
Another uni has better classes with their degree but its farther. I was so sad and thought about doing nursing :/ nothing wrong with nursing but its not what i want.
I will schedule an appointment with an advisor, i needed to anyway but didnt know what to ask.
Hydrogeology is a very fruitful career path and combines the two.
Thank you for the information 👍
I'm glad you liked it!
I’m an environmental consultant- remediation work specially. You can either make $55K doing field work, $80-90k doing technical report writing. If you want a decent pay and guaranteed work specialize in air permitting, the CAA (Clean Air Act) rules are convoluted so much so that many people burn out of doing that job, but the pay is decent $100k but that’s probably 5yrs out of college, recent grad I’d say $55-70k. I’ve been in the industry for 8 years now. Safety is where the 💰 is at or RCRA waste profiling but that gets boring too.
Is this field able to pay me handsome salary?
Did you have to do a phd first?
@@MariamAli-cp1zu no, only a bachelors, getting a phd is more if you want to do research. The way I got started was working for government, specifically state government. They are more open to training people because their salaries are lower. I advise you do “multimedia” meaning learn waste, water, air regulations while in government, move around in the agency if you have to. If you can learn about permitting that’s great because that’s what a lot of good paying environmental jobs do. Good luck. 👍
@@stephaniejones9325 can you send me a link where to apply pls
@@wearevengeance7824 did you ever get the link?
Thankyou for this video is have cleared all my doubts
A professor told me a great combination of education is a specialty with substance (STEM), with a masters or diploma in a business practice. I’m planning on capping off my biology BSc with a management masters.
Helpful thank you.
Wow I like it 👏
thanks for the help 💗
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Hii your content is very well upto date with recent changes in global climate changes.
Hi. Thanks for this review. What did you study?
almost graduating from a environmental physics degree. The degree is very math and physics heavy and rather resembles a geophysics degree due to my program supervisor, but idk if I want to become a geoscientist (or if I even can 😅) or a Hydrologist.
Thank you for the well-researched video
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Best of luck in your job search!
Thank you!!
I am from India. I have done my PGD in Environmental Pollution Control Technology, after 16 years of Experience in Wastewater Treatment and Recycling, I am doing my MSC Environmental Science. Hope I get good break though I am 40 years old Now
ahhhhhh thank you so much
Very informative video 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you liked it 😊!
can you make video on major courses/ programme in best colleges related to sustainability.
The USDA is a MAJOR employer of environmental consultants of all kinds! You missed an entire sector of conservation, restoration, and preservation implementation occurring on the ground... And a GS11 starts out at ~60k annually... Worth mentioning. GS13 make at least 100k.
Thank you for the info!!
Love your channel!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks this really helped 🥺
I'm so glad!
A full professor sure do make some good money. You can expect to be a full professor after a decade or two or three. Expect half that salary if you go the academic route and be prepared for adjunct roles that actually pay poverty.
Thanks !
Thank you!
You're welcome!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU YOU ARE EXCELLENT!
I love you this was perfect
Geoscience is definitely what I'm looking into
I’m going into Environmental Studies and Sustainability, so I’m not sure how many of these actually apply to me but a very interesting video nonetheless
CSO seems like the place to be, but honestly, I think I would rather work in the field instead of focusing on the business part of it. Idk. Maybe Hydrologist, Leed architect, and geoscientist sounds fun. Do you think you can work or create renewable resources besides just having an environmental engineering degree? I’m an undergraduate and a sophomore in this major.
I'm sure you could! A job in research in a related field would likely allow you to participate in renewable energy as well.

Thank you for the suggestion!
Good video
Thanks very much great vedeo am study enevronemental science for year two thanks again i penifet more in formation your vedeo
I'm glad you found it useful!
Hi:), I am currently studying environmental engineering but I don’t like it that much, I want to combine environmental science with social sciences, do you know if there’s a major also focused on a more social aspect, like development cooperation, anthropology, sociology or politics? Why didn’t you continue studying environmental engineering?
There are environmental masters that cover environmental impact, justice, and policy (:
I'll start studying something like that in Austria. It's called Environmental and bioresource management. However, this probably won't help you as it is in German

Can you make a video of higest paying jobs in marine biology
Hey eli! Currently I am doing my bsc in marine fisheries and I wanna pursue my msc in environmental science.Can you please tell me if am eligible to do my msc in environmental science or not?
Watching this vedio just before one week of joining University for Bachelor degree in Environmental sciences.
Hi, I am a graduate in Computer Engineering, but looking for changing career to anything related to Environment (preferably climate change) by taking masters. Would it work for me ?! Can I get job, or would I have to go for research and stuff after?!
기업으로는 뭐가 있을까요?
What are some companies related to this?
Very helpful. but what about the status of environmental auditing world wide?
Utility foresters can make great money too( when unionized). I currently make 103k and i just have to hike along powerlines and create work orders for vegetation that has to be removed.
How long have you had the job?
@@aneladzananovic4718 only about 1.5 yr
could you elaborate more on what you do during your job? I've been looking at jobs I can go for in the future after I finish college
Theres different scopes of work but my specific job is hiking along distribution lines and signing up the removal trees that are dead or dying that are tall to fall on the lines. I also make sure branches are a at least a certain distance from the lines and prescribe trims when needed. This requires dealing with difficult property owners at times, that dont want their trees removed or prunned
I needed this video 5 years ago..😔
What happened now?
Environmental health safety regulatory rep (EHSR) for oil and gas companies can pay north of 250k a year. Requires a bachelor's, preferred in environmental science...just FYI
I'm a fresh graduate of BSES but it is really hard to find a job that suits to your program course.
Do you know any good master in the US in which you can study something associated to the chief sustainability officer job?
Got an Environmental Science degree. Was told it was a high demand career. My professors never got into available job titles, what areas to work in, and what types of companies or government agencies hire you. The truth is, you gotta work for little to no pay for about 5 years, build experience and then compete with all the other graduates for a mediocre paying job. Not a good degree or field to get into. Been looking for career opportunities for the past 5 years without success. It's extremely competitive, few positions required and often seasonal or project based longevity.
Is that true? Would I still have a chance if I know what companies to work for and what companies to intern at during college and if I did undergraduate research in college
Ahhh to be an environmental science student not wanting to be poor
Hahaha the STRUGGLE
can you make a video on this for marine biologists?

How about Marketing Management ? I really Need your advice
Should I also do the data science or data analytics course to get a job in environmental science?
Hello There.
I am thinking of going into Enviornmental science/Enviornmental Engineering, Majoring in water quality or careers to do with Hydrology,really just not sure
There are a lot of subjects that are difficult but I do excel in Biology.I have Diplomas already(Therapy) and thinking of going on to get a Bachelors Degree.
With your experience and knowledge as a Marine biologist, what career would you say would suit someone who is Introverted,a more Physical,Sporty/Active worker and likes Biology,Water treatment,Planetary Science,Enviornment science,which pays well with a Bachelors
Thanks.
University Full Professor is a great example like anyone can just apply and start their professor job right away 😁
