@Brian Norton a person can take losing an arm that doesn't mean that if it's at all avoidable they should take precautions to not lose it, earth is the only planet we have we need to do our best to care for it
@Brian Norton fracking increases methane gas (25 times more potent than carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, pollutes the nearby area with dangerous chemicals and or causes oil spills, and can lead to increase earth quake activity, it's not a harmless process, it causes deep and long lasting damage to the surface of the earth.
@Brian Norton so beat the hell out of the earth until there's no more to give? That's your solution? What an ignorant stance you hold, why are you on a wildlife biology channel if you clearly disregard wildlife and the health of future generations of people and animals with this oil mess, by the time it runs out we won't be here to witness it because we'll be extinct
@@prettythang3038 well i don't think mine workers have much of a say. They get paid based on how dangerous their job is. Which I agree with, but the job itself is what is harming the earth.
@@prettythang3038 oh because they're working underground and most times very far under the earth which exposes them to many toxins and lethal games depending on what they're looking for. The more they mine up top, the less of the materials they were looking for are (some exceptions), so they have to go deeper and further into the earth to find them. And it's not like they all have secure structures made under there, and there have been a lot of deaths and casualties related to working in mines. It's not an easy job and I sure wouldn't wanna do it, so the pay is understandable if it's my life on the line.

There are many other areas in this field of study such as environmental geology which is focused on risk mitigation from natural disasters when constructing new buildings, roads, etc, as well as reducing pollution. There are many jobs in research which typically focus on studying climate change or planetary science. There is hydrogeology which entails studying ground water to asses risk of drought, pollution or sustainable drinking water extraction (this is different from water quality scientist that was presented in the video, that career focuses more on surface water analysis whereas hydrogeology focuses more on ground water and interpretation of seismic data). And there is mining geology, mining sometimes gets a bad rep but as we move away from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy this requires innovative mining solutions for various minerals that are essential for the development of wind, solar, nuclear power etc. Some minerals we mine are also essential for our iPhones, laptops, medical technology and a lot more. And modern mining has been getting consistently more environmentally friendly and land remediation has also been consistently improving. I just wanted to make the point that geology is very diverse and there are a lot of careers outside of oil and gas.
is a bachelors degree enough in order to get a job in any of those fields? just curious as to how the job market is, if there is a lot of competition, etc
@@domdabomb98 For hydrogeology you will need a masters degree and that job primarily entails groundwater exploration, in other words locating areas to drill new water wells. For mining and mineral exploration a bachelors degree will be enough but these companies typically only hire individuals who live where these activities occur. So in the US this will primarily be California and Arizona. The reason I say "typically" is because often times these jobs work on rotation of two weeks on and two weeks off of possibly living a remote area so this is something to consider because some people love it whereas others may not. In the future there will most likely be a high demand for geologists specializing in locating lithium deposits as lithium is essential for electric vehicles and electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops. For oil and gas it depends on the price of oil. So right now as you are probably aware of the price of oil has been increasing so petroleum companies are hiring more geologists regardless if they have a masters degree or not but if you really want to work in that industry I would recommend a masters degree for job security. Also, living in either Texas or California will help as these are two of the biggest oil and gas states in the US. Environmental geology jobs are primarily going to be located in California where active fault lines change the game when it comes to building infrastructure projects. Something else I want to add is that if you are really interested in hydrology consider maybe looking into civil engineering as a potential option as civil engineers can specialize in designing hydraulic systems for both drinking water and wastewater treatment whereas a hydrogeologist is someone who locates areas where fresh water can be extracted from and civil engineering will only require a bachelors degree. Hope this helps, good luck in your endeavors!
I love your videos! I'm an Environmental and Organismal Biology major and I frequently get a dreadful feeling when I'm thinking about finding a job in my field. I love ecology and would love a career in environmental conservation and even working to combat climate change, but my real passion is mycology. Specifically, mycorrhizal associations to improve plant growth and mycoremediation to help clean up the environment. Your videos are so helpful and make me feel so much better about my future. Thank you, Kristina!!
My major is environmental studies and im looking at going into environmental sociology. However i wanted to say that many college offer certification in water quality and can be fairly short. Which can add something to you resume, expand your career opportunities, and complemental to your degree!
Cortana so far so good I haven’t gotten deep into my science courses yet I’m taking static’s , a global class and ethics class that basically are opinion classes/research to give insight on the world around us and then a public policy course I’m enjoying my courses I think it’s a good program , you’ll enjoy especially if your opinionated and Hands on
Can you tell me more about the pros and cons of taking environmental sciences? I'm really torn out deciding which I should choose. I''m considering animal sciences and this as my career path, but I'm having doubts if I can do it till the end😅 please give your opinion about it, thank u
Thank you so much for posting, with deadlines for university comming up soon, I’m getting stressed at what I should choose. The careers in your video sound really interesting, I’m considering becoming a water quality scientist
Thank you so much for all the different options. I will be majoring in environmental science and management and this really opened up my eyes to all the possibilities.
Thanks for talking about park ranger. I've been eyeing this one as my top go to but I understand it's notoriously hard to break into, not letting that dissuade me though. I do have some GIS and water quality classes coming up soon so my preferences are subject to change. Definitely interested in Part III and hope your new location/job is treating you well! Not that i'm not determined or anything, but I always get a little extra boost of motivation when you put out a video :D
Park ranger is notoriously competitive but if you’re willing to go to a remote park and work your way up it does get easier. The new job is AWESOME so far. And I’m so glad to hear my videos give you a boost! 🥰
Wow RUclips’s algorithm actually worked for once! Thanks for the video, I’m trying to go into environmental sciences right now and I was wondering what I could do with the degree
Yes! I totally think you should do a part three. I am most interested in being a botanist, agronomist, or eco tourism manager. I am graduating this quarter, and don’t have anything lined up yet b
@@cansitpanton5637 lahat naman ng mga course mahirap e, basta usto mo yung ginagawa mo and love mo talaga yung course nayon, everything will be fine!! Promise!! ❤️😍
I've always been passionate about sciences and so I took the science curriculum back in High school but for some reason I took a totally different program in University and I feel lost. Now I want to study again, science this time.
I'm in the same situation as you. Not sure why I completely gave up on science when I first entered college. I thought something else would eventually spark my interest while taking gen ed courses but I honestly just feel so lost. I'm in my third year now currently taking bio chem and math. Thought I was striving to be an engineer but now I'm scared I'll hate it in a couple of months. I already feel like I wasted so much time.
Environmental science is the academic field that takes physical, biological and chemical sciences to study the environment and discover solutions to environmental problems. Sciences used in environmental science include geography, zoology, physics, ecology, oceanology, and geology. Environmental science also branches out into environmental studies and environmental engineering. It provides an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental problems.
im super interested in botany, plant properties/biology, agriculture and our relationship with plants when it comes to medicine/food. any other videos on this topic?
No but I read a book that you might like on the topic called “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teachings of plants”
I took Environmental Science and now working as an Environmental Monitoring Officer for 2yrs and half. It is more like of a Police for the Environment because of the enforcement, investigation, law implementation of all environmental laws. Also, being invited as a resource speaker for any environment related activities. but.. In the Philippines our profession was badly compensated. 300 dollars a month is bad, and sometimes delayed for almost 4 months.
Thank you for this video. I am middle aged and haven't even started college yet. But better late than never. With an associates I could be a game warden.
It’s so hard to pick! In middle school in my area we are encouraged to pick a field to work in (science,engineering, math related fields, etc) because in high school we can do college courses so we don’t have to go to college for as long. I know, it’s insane.
In my experience to get a fisheries or wildlife biologist job you should have a fisheries or wildlife biology bachelors versus an environmental science degree. Unless of course you have a lot of work and/or volunteer experience in those fields. That's one problem imo with an environmental science major -- it's sometimes too broad, not specialized enough.
I'm so glad I've found your channel! I was studying geology but dropped out because of all the math... I still want to find something within the environmental sciences so these videos are so helpful, thank you
@@wildthewaves what did you want to focus more on? I too was thinking about Geology but I feel like I want to focus on the landscape (like a restoration of a land)... I don't know if what i just said makes sense 😅
@@mariangelamariangela4199 Yes that makes sense (: I also had geomorphology, which I liked a lot more. I'm also really interested in how landscapes are formed and also in the role water (rivers/oceans) plays. Do you prefer to study landscapes as in: how natural landscapes are formed or more: the biodiversity that's present in a landscape? Because I think that's the biggest thing in deciding on which direction to go into. I thought I was just interested in how the earth works but turns out I like 'living things' a lot more than stones haha, so maybe thinking about that can help you too? For the forming of landscapes geomorphology and earth science can be a good route, for 'living things' ecology I think would be good. And then there are tons of studies focussing on just environmental issues, which might also be interesting for you? Idk, super long answer haha 😅
Mar Vé super helpful! I’m not who you replied to but geomorph was also my favourite part of geology! Not so much geochemistry and the rest. I happen to prefer the non living things though so I’m trying to figure out how I can do geology without a huge amount of math physics and chem, sounds deluded but I have to try lol.
Hello I'm enjoying your videos! Currently I'm taking an Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and I'm in the 1st year. I'm encourage to study more bucause of your video, thanks alot!
I am really interested in the air quality or water quality career. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in environmental science with concentration in environmental chemistry
When you say "botanist", "air quality scientist", etc. could you give an example of a specific job position or agency that this could be? Because usually job positions are listed as something a lot more specific than just those very general topics and areas of study
Thank you for this, it gives me clear direction with what i take a job after i graduate in BS Environmental Science. Hope to do it I want to go abroad and learn more.
I’m about to move to the PNW for my partners job. I’m looking to make a life change, I want to be involved in wildlife.. conservation.. environmental impact...even organic farming... I want to learn and see where it can take me! I do not have a degree. I’m hoping so,done may have advice for an eager person like myself wanting to learn and work my way into the nature world.
Just throwing ideas out there, but the PNW has a lot of native landscaping design/gardening with native plants to improve wildlife habitat, or outdoor advocacy/naturalist positions that don't require degrees that you can look into! My best friend is a naturalist and we filmed a Q&A video the other day so keep an eye out for that.
Thank you so much. I studied Economics of Geology and Mineral Resources in Europe for about 4 years, and now continuing in Environmental studies, here in New York city, you gave me alot of new energy motivation, ideas, and i want to thank you again. I will follow your channel in future.
Park Ranger is the most interesting job to me. I have put in many years as an athlete, physical labor worker, and wanting to major in biology. It seems the most relevant. Do you know if park rangers incorporate GIS into their jobs? I am very good with computers and have a dad and brother who are computer programmers also, but I hear from a lot of people that most employers in E.S. don't care if you have GIS experience. Would be nice to know before I go into a few more thousand of dollars worth of college debt.
Does anyone know why a forestry/ag guy would come specifically to my neighbor's house and look around and then come on my property and aim a little handheld device that looks like a video game controller at my tree? As he was aiming it at the tree, he was pressing buttons. Any idea? Btw, he may have done that to my neighbor's trees as well, but they're in his yard, so I couldn't see any of that.
Hi! So I already have a BA degree in History but want to earn a MS in an environmental science field - maybe Forestry and Natural Resources? What are some ways I could prepare for this? I have experience with working for a municipal parks service as well as a greenhouse (if that helps?). Thank you!!
I would love to know your Myer Briggs personality! I am not sure if I want to go into the environmental career field and I feel like if I understood the personality traits that correlate most with this field I might know if I am best suited for this :)
Nice vid. I work as a “eco tour and fishing guide” I have a science degree in environment but if you get one specifically to work in eco tourism it is idiocy. If you want one to just have a degree awesome but it is not needed in any way to be a eco tourism guide.
I don’t think you should say degree only because I believe there is something to learn that’s really important for everyone one in there daily lives cause even if they are not interested or do not have the money for these educational courses you should always be striving to teach and bring awareness to all kinds of studies to people around the world. I understand your talking about salary and other school payments but I’m only saying this because this niche of studies needs to expand if we are to make real difference. Food for thought.
Oh, I meant bachelors degree only as in "you only need a bachelors to do most of these, not a PhD" I do agree environmental science should be shared with and by everyone, but when it comes to hiring for salaried scientists there is usually a minimum required education of a bachelors degree on the job posting and for me to say otherwise would be misleading. but there is many many environmental careers that do not require such strict educational experience :)
One Day an Indian Man will saved our planet. There is many more solutions in Vedas in Rigved in Samved in Yajurved and in Atharvaved. I will be very happy that day
@@samrat4706 I'm in the same boat as you! Honestly right now, I'm trying to get a job in Enviro Science, literally anything associated with it (conservation, consulting, assessment, analyst, technician, comunications/marketing) just to see what the field is about and figure out what direction I actually want to go. Once I hopefully figure that out, then I'd choose a specialization to direct my Master's towards afterwards. But generally, if you know you want to be a Geologist and you want the title of a "scientist", a Master's is a mininun requirement. You could do actual harm to the environment or people if you don't what you're doing. I would just love an in-field opportunity to figure out what I can actually do with my current degree in present time. Good luck 😊
@@justbeingania Thax it gave me a little idea about the field being at last year of graduation in geology I'm too worried about my master's degree i was looking for job environmental consultant or analyst in my future
Good presentation and career opportunities of Environmental specialist. thank you for the presentation and sharing knowledge to those very interested about environmental study.
Really sucks with the pandemic I was unable to get an internship 😕 Now, I graduate next month and everything around me is closed and not hiring. I will have this degree with no experience, and as time continues to tik I continue lose out 😔 I have no idea what to do now, but continue to study so I don't lose out on knowledge; royally, sucks. I feel like noone will give me a chance once everything opens back up due to no experience.
Also can I become a botanist if I have a degree from environmental science? (My sentences are superficial sometimes .... I meant a degree from ecology)
Hi! I am considering choosing a career in this field, but when it comes to ecological or environmental studies, in my country they are similar in practice but different in names. There's this one that is quite new and not everybody heard of it: it's ecological engineering. Do you guys think this is relevant to environmental studies and there's actually a job market for it?
Hi I am an Environmental Engineer from India with 4 years of experience in environment consultancy. I do the same job like you but in India,I am interested to work in US,Can you help me to search a relevant job?
I love this video! Thank you so much because soon I will begin my master degree on Environmental Science. Is there any way I could communicate with you so you could give some advice?
Yeah I was on the fence about going to school for botany or soil science.... I'm not gonna spend tens of thousands of dollars and years of my time to make 50k a year and be in debt for the next decade. I'll just farm cbd hemp.
Hello kristina, back at it again with your awesome content. Thank you so much ❤️ I got two questions. 1) if I major in environment science, later when I go to grad school to specialise in one area through masters, but after a certain time if I want to specialise in another area, by getting masters in another area/field or you know change field/jobs, would I still be able to do that by having a bachelor's degree in environmental science? 2) no one talks about environmental jobs that can be done from home, are those kind of jobs available? If they are, what kind of are those.
For 1. You can go back to school and get a graduates degree in something unrelated to environmental science you just may need to take a few extra prerequisites classes for you new major. But it depends on how different the degrees are if they are still in the science field then you'll be okay but if your switching to a dance major your gonna need more classes. Hope I helped! :)
Yes, what Rose said! It depends how closely related the fields are. Yes environmental jobs can be done at least partially at home but they’re a bit harder to find. Many planning jobs do allow work from home a few days a week :)

Specifically, mycorrhizal associations to improve plant growth and mycoremediation to help clean up the environment. Your videos are so helpful and make me feel so much better about my future. Thank you, Kristina!!
Hello, update?
i’m becoming a stripper at this point
jacqueline arambula i was studying that environment science but i switched its too difficult
@@J.C.A-97 why is it difficult??if i may ask
Ashley a lot of science and math classes
@@J.C.A-97 what kind of math classes did you take?
Ashley i gave up in trigonometry but you need algebra trig calculus 1-3 physics chemistry
My major is environmental studies and im looking at going into environmental sociology. However i wanted to say that many college offer certification in water quality and can be fairly short. Which can add something to you resume, expand your career opportunities, and complemental to your degree!
Water Quality Scientist or Fish biologist
Im currently taking up my Environmental Science Degree . Thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️
Same here !!!
And how is that going for you? I really want to do the same, I'm a high school junior in APES right now. :)
Cortana so far so good I haven’t gotten deep into my science courses yet I’m taking static’s , a global class and ethics class that basically are opinion classes/research to give insight on the world around us and then a public policy course I’m enjoying my courses I think it’s a good program , you’ll enjoy especially if your opinionated and Hands on
I'm currently studying Environmetal Science rn and it's great actually. You get to learn so much about earth and why and how things happen. ITS GREAT
Can you tell me more about the pros and cons of taking environmental sciences? I'm really torn out deciding which I should choose. I''m considering animal sciences and this as my career path, but I'm having doubts if I can do it till the end😅 please give your opinion about it, thank u
I've just started studying Environmental Engineering and it's actually pretty cool! A big mix of a lot of topics 🙂
Is it enjoyable? Also would you say it’s difficult?
Is it hard?
Can you tell me about this degree and job prospects I'm thinking of studying it next year after i graduate
@@mosafi2978 A yes for both actually :D
@@filibertogutierrez1487 Some lectures are quite difficult, but it's bearable :)
Thank you so much for posting, with deadlines for university comming up soon, I’m getting stressed at what I should choose. The careers in your video sound really interesting, I’m considering becoming a water quality scientist
Thank you so much for all the different options. I will be majoring in environmental science and management and this really opened up my eyes to all the possibilities.
I’m finishing my 3rd year and I have no idea what to look at applying for 😭
I wouldnt mind learning more about Sustainability Specialist. I haven't heard of that one before and it sounds very useful.
Many years ago, I was debating between studying environmental science and computer science. I'm glad I chose the later. 🙈
Thanks for talking about park ranger. I've been eyeing this one as my top go to but I understand it's notoriously hard to break into, not letting that dissuade me though. I do have some GIS and water quality classes coming up soon so my preferences are subject to change. Definitely interested in Part III and hope your new location/job is treating you well! Not that i'm not determined or anything, but I always get a little extra boost of motivation when you put out a video :D
Park ranger is notoriously competitive but if you’re willing to go to a remote park and work your way up it does get easier. The new job is AWESOME so far. And I’m so glad to hear my videos give you a boost! 🥰
Look into americorp programs where you can work on a state park and that should get you a leg in
Wow RUclips’s algorithm actually worked for once! Thanks for the video, I’m trying to go into environmental sciences right now and I was wondering what I could do with the degree
Thank you for being here!
Yes! I totally think you should do a part three. I am most interested in being a botanist, agronomist, or eco tourism manager. I am graduating this quarter, and don’t have anything lined up yet b
Nice!! Congrats on the upcoming graduation!
I'm a environmental science student here in the Philippines. Thanks for your inspirational vlogs!!
Mico Cordero I'm also from the philippines pwede po bang mag tanong kung ano nga kinakaharap niyo ngayon sa kursong ES?
ano po ang mahirap sa bs envi?
@@cansitpanton5637 lahat naman ng mga course mahirap e, basta usto mo yung ginagawa mo and love mo talaga yung course nayon, everything will be fine!! Promise!! ❤️😍
I've always been passionate about sciences and so I took the science curriculum back in High school but for some reason I took a totally different program in University and I feel lost. Now I want to study again, science this time.
I'm in the same situation as you. Not sure why I completely gave up on science when I first entered college. I thought something else would eventually spark my interest while taking gen ed courses but I honestly just feel so lost. I'm in my third year now currently taking bio chem and math. Thought I was striving to be an engineer but now I'm scared I'll hate it in a couple of months. I already feel like I wasted so much time.
Yeah !!! Do a part three!!!👍👍👍
Could you please do a series on what environmental jobs you can get without a environmental degree?
Most of those jobs
Agreed I don't want to be in debt.
@@Raccon_Detective. u can’t, they would easily take a person with a major. Rather than someone who doesn’t have one
@@Raccon_Detective. She has a video here: ruclips.net/video/Q-3KseGxoOw/видео.html
Environmental science is the academic field that takes physical, biological and chemical sciences to study the environment and discover solutions to environmental problems. Sciences used in environmental science include geography, zoology, physics, ecology, oceanology, and geology. Environmental science also branches out into environmental studies and environmental engineering. It provides an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental problems.
This is a start for me, I've always wanted to be a botanist but theres a couple new studies I found here that are really Interesting
One of my biggest goals in life is to have a job I love ❤️ thank you so much
Can you make a video about what specific skills you need to become a Wildlife Biologist, or what skills are wanted by employers?
Loved this video. First timer, subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed!
im super interested in botany, plant properties/biology, agriculture and our relationship with plants when it comes to medicine/food. any other videos on this topic?
No but I read a book that you might like on the topic called “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teachings of plants”
Kristina Lynn thank you!
I took Environmental Science and now working as an Environmental Monitoring Officer for 2yrs and half.
It is more like of a Police for the Environment because of the enforcement, investigation, law implementation of all environmental laws. Also, being invited as a resource speaker for any environment related activities.
but..
In the Philippines our profession was badly compensated. 300 dollars a month is bad, and sometimes delayed for almost 4 months.
Thank you for this video. I am middle aged and haven't even started college yet. But better late than never. With an associates I could be a game warden.
You’re welcome and good luck on your journey, it’s never too late! And yes, an associates would be a great foundation to get a game warden job. 😃
It’s so hard to pick! In middle school in my area we are encouraged to pick a field to work in (science,engineering, math related fields, etc) because in high school we can do college courses so we don’t have to go to college for as long. I know, it’s insane.
Take your time and dabble into different fields!... time is on your side young grasshopper
In my experience to get a fisheries or wildlife biologist job you should have a fisheries or wildlife biology bachelors versus an environmental science degree. Unless of course you have a lot of work and/or volunteer experience in those fields. That's one problem imo with an environmental science major -- it's sometimes too broad, not specialized enough.
I'm studying environmental management and toxicology. Could you please do a video on the toxicology part of the environment
i'm studying env.management.
I'm studying Marine Environment and Pollution Control.
A video would do please.
Thank you.
Botanist and Eco-Tourism sound the coolest, I can see a calm but rewarding life in nature
I'm so glad I've found your channel! I was studying geology but dropped out because of all the math... I still want to find something within the environmental sciences so these videos are so helpful, thank you
was it difficult ?
@@ryandas1730 What exactly? The math? It wasn't extremely hard but there was just too much of it for me, I wanted to focus more on other things
@@wildthewaves what did you want to focus more on?
I too was thinking about Geology but I feel like I want to focus on the landscape (like a restoration of a land)... I don't know if what i just said makes sense 😅
@@mariangelamariangela4199 Yes that makes sense (: I also had geomorphology, which I liked a lot more. I'm also really interested in how landscapes are formed and also in the role water (rivers/oceans) plays. Do you prefer to study landscapes as in: how natural landscapes are formed or more: the biodiversity that's present in a landscape?
Because I think that's the biggest thing in deciding on which direction to go into. I thought I was just interested in how the earth works but turns out I like 'living things' a lot more than stones haha, so maybe thinking about that can help you too? For the forming of landscapes geomorphology and earth science can be a good route, for 'living things' ecology I think would be good. And then there are tons of studies focussing on just environmental issues, which might also be interesting for you? Idk, super long answer haha 😅
Mar Vé super helpful! I’m not who you replied to but geomorph was also my favourite part of geology! Not so much geochemistry and the rest. I happen to prefer the non living things though so I’m trying to figure out how I can do geology without a huge amount of math physics and chem, sounds deluded but I have to try lol.
Hello I'm enjoying your videos!
Currently I'm taking an Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and I'm in the 1st year. I'm encourage to study more bucause of your video, thanks alot!
I am really interested in the air quality or water quality career. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in environmental science with concentration in environmental chemistry
You rock
When you say "botanist", "air quality scientist", etc. could you give an example of a specific job position or agency that this could be? Because usually job positions are listed as something a lot more specific than just those very general topics and areas of study
I love you for putting the time stamps.
Oh boy I applied for an environmental technician and I'm worried about my future 😌
what are you worried about?
Love this! I'd like to hear more about a Sustainability Specialist role. Thanks!
Thank you for this, it gives me clear direction with what i take a job after i graduate in BS Environmental Science. Hope to do it I want to go abroad and learn more.
Im taking bachelor of Science in Environmental science degree hopefully to finished my study this year💚💚💚sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭
I am reading environment science law and trust me it's fun but also hard and I always die while giving test and exams
I must say being a botanist is the best job ever you can go to other country......its FUN
I’m about to move to the PNW for my partners job. I’m looking to make a life change, I want to be involved in wildlife.. conservation.. environmental impact...even organic farming... I want to learn and see where it can take me! I do not have a degree. I’m hoping so,done may have advice for an eager person like myself wanting to learn and work my way into the nature world.
Just throwing ideas out there, but the PNW has a lot of native landscaping design/gardening with native plants to improve wildlife habitat, or outdoor advocacy/naturalist positions that don't require degrees that you can look into! My best friend is a naturalist and we filmed a Q&A video the other day so keep an eye out for that.
Finally my major!!
Thank you I’m going to look up Botanist. I had no idea that existed
AYOOO, at first I was doing. Some research for a project but now I’m invested
Currently pursuing a Bachelors in Environmental Science with a concentration in conservation and natural resources!
Where do you study??. Actually I also looking for university with that major in Indonesia
@@jessicagotama9638 I’m doing it online with South New Hampshire University (SNHU).
So fun for wildlife biologists!You guys rock :D!
Thank you so much.
I studied Economics of Geology and Mineral Resources in Europe for about 4 years, and now continuing in Environmental studies, here in New York city, you gave me alot of new energy motivation, ideas, and i want to thank you again. I will follow your channel in future.
Awesome, thank you! Good luck with your studies :)

10 Environmental Science Career Ideas to fight CLIMATE CHANGE
ruclips.net/video/JZlhFKzS3Zc/видео.html
Park Ranger is the most interesting job to me. I have put in many years as an athlete, physical labor worker, and wanting to major in biology. It seems the most relevant. Do you know if park rangers incorporate GIS into their jobs? I am very good with computers and have a dad and brother who are computer programmers also, but I hear from a lot of people that most employers in E.S. don't care if you have GIS experience. Would be nice to know before I go into a few more thousand of dollars worth of college debt.
Hey I need your help
Is this all for bachelors or for masters in environmental science?
Does anyone know why a forestry/ag guy would come specifically to my neighbor's house and look around and then come on my property and aim a little handheld device that looks like a video game controller at my tree? As he was aiming it at the tree, he was pressing buttons. Any idea? Btw, he may have done that to my neighbor's trees as well, but they're in his yard, so I couldn't see any of that.
Geology❤
Im thinking hydrology but for sure geology
Thanks for this video. Very informative!
Hi! So I already have a BA degree in History but want to earn a MS in an environmental science field - maybe Forestry and Natural Resources? What are some ways I could prepare for this? I have experience with working for a municipal parks service as well as a greenhouse (if that helps?). Thank you!!
I would love to know your Myer Briggs personality! I am not sure if I want to go into the environmental career field and I feel like if I understood the personality traits that correlate most with this field I might know if I am best suited for this :)
Hmmm I think the last time I took it, I got ENFP! And I'm a Type 4 enneagram.
Nice vid. I work as a “eco tour and fishing guide” I have a science degree in environment but if you get one specifically to work in eco tourism it is idiocy. If you want one to just have a degree awesome but it is not needed in any way to be a eco tourism guide.
Good insight thank you for this comment! Do you think most of the people in your field have degrees or is it not that common?
I don’t think you should say degree only because I believe there is something to learn that’s really important for everyone one in there daily lives cause even if they are not interested or do not have the money for these educational courses you should always be striving to teach and bring awareness to all kinds of studies to people around the world. I understand your talking about salary and other school payments but I’m only saying this because this niche of studies needs to expand if we are to make real difference. Food for thought.
Oh, I meant bachelors degree only as in "you only need a bachelors to do most of these, not a PhD" I do agree environmental science should be shared with and by everyone, but when it comes to hiring for salaried scientists there is usually a minimum required education of a bachelors degree on the job posting and for me to say otherwise would be misleading. but there is many many environmental careers that do not require such strict educational experience :)
Thanks for the info! Hopefully trying these keywords helps my job search 🙏. Subscribed
man, you are the absolute best.
Thank you!!!!
thank you sm for the time stamps ♥
No problem 😊
One Day an Indian Man will saved our planet.
There is many more solutions in Vedas in Rigved in Samved in Yajurved and in Atharvaved.
I will be very happy that day
I have a degree in Earth (Geology) and Environmental science and no jobs are offered without a Master's as a Geologist...just thought I'd add that in
Same here I'm in my last year of geology and thinking to do my master's in environmental science Is it worth ?
@@samrat4706 I'm in the same boat as you! Honestly right now, I'm trying to get a job in Enviro Science, literally anything associated with it (conservation, consulting, assessment, analyst, technician, comunications/marketing) just to see what the field is about and figure out what direction I actually want to go. Once I hopefully figure that out, then I'd choose a specialization to direct my Master's towards afterwards. But generally, if you know you want to be a Geologist and you want the title of a "scientist", a Master's is a mininun requirement. You could do actual harm to the environment or people if you don't what you're doing. I would just love an in-field opportunity to figure out what I can actually do with my current degree in present time. Good luck 😊
@@justbeingania Thax it gave me a little idea about the field being at last year of graduation in geology I'm too worried about my master's degree i was looking for job environmental consultant or analyst in my future
@@samrat4706 nice! We'll figure it out 😊
@@justbeingania yeah definitely 😊
Good presentation and career opportunities of Environmental specialist. thank you for the presentation and sharing knowledge to those very interested about environmental study.
please make part 3. Thanks a lot!!
Great stuff. Get a decent mic, heck even a kind of ok one and your videos will honestly be 10/10. ❤
Really sucks with the pandemic I was unable to get an internship 😕 Now, I graduate next month and everything around me is closed and not hiring. I will have this degree with no experience, and as time continues to tik I continue lose out 😔 I have no idea what to do now, but continue to study so I don't lose out on knowledge; royally, sucks. I feel like noone will give me a chance once everything opens back up due to no experience.
Also can I become a botanist if I have a degree from environmental science?
(My sentences are superficial sometimes ....
I meant a degree from ecology)
Hi! I am considering choosing a career in this field, but when it comes to ecological or environmental studies, in my country they are similar in practice but different in names. There's this one that is quite new and not everybody heard of it: it's ecological engineering. Do you guys think this is relevant to environmental studies and there's actually a job market for it?
What are your thougts on Environmental Lawyer? Do you think it is worth studying after getting Master degree on Environmental Science major?
That’s what I’m wondering too OMG
Can you do a video on restoration and conservation of heritages and envionment art etc..
Very helpful! Thank you so much!!
Plz make a video on biotech career
i'm an incoming bs environmental science freshman. this is super useful!! thanks for this! 🥺
hey just a question to get environmental science degree. you have to get a bachelors degree first rigjt?
L Roongin yes,, but there’s also a masters for environmental science
I love entomology and mycology but I don't know which one to focus on and last question what jobs can a mycologist do
I got a bachelors in geography w a GIS specialization. Im looking to get more into Env Sci or Env Eng but im not sure how
Hi
I am an Environmental Engineer from India with 4 years of experience in environment consultancy.
I do the same job like you but in India,I am interested to work in US,Can you help me to search a relevant job?
Could you please let me know when the internship video is up? I'm going to do my degree on environmental psychology.!
Hay please make video on climatologist
I loved this information! Give us another one!
I love this video! Thank you so much because soon I will begin my master degree on Environmental Science. Is there any way I could communicate with you so you could give some advice?
Why do all these salaries suck??😂
Starting salaries bud
Yeah I was on the fence about going to school for botany or soil science.... I'm not gonna spend tens of thousands of dollars and years of my time to make 50k a year and be in debt for the next decade. I'll just farm cbd hemp.
Environmental Science student here🤙 1st year college
How about masters in environmental engineering?
Thank you sister.i read in environmental science in Bangladesh.
Hello kristina, back at it again with your awesome content. Thank you so much ❤️
I got two questions.
1) if I major in environment science, later when I go to grad school to specialise in one area through masters, but after a certain time if I want to specialise in another area, by getting masters in another area/field or you know change field/jobs, would I still be able to do that by having a bachelor's degree in environmental science?
2) no one talks about environmental jobs that can be done from home, are those kind of jobs available? If they are, what kind of are those.
For 1. You can go back to school and get a graduates degree in something unrelated to environmental science you just may need to take a few extra prerequisites classes for you new major. But it depends on how different the degrees are if they are still in the science field then you'll be okay but if your switching to a dance major your gonna need more classes. Hope I helped! :)
Yes, what Rose said! It depends how closely related the fields are. Yes environmental jobs can be done at least partially at home but they’re a bit harder to find. Many planning jobs do allow work from home a few days a week :)
