not many but it will shorten your time getting the BS degree and now with the way things are going you will need a freeking Masters and by the time you get that you will need a freeking doctorate.  That's what happened to me, lol.  Good luck

Degree in Biology, Chemistry or Environmental Science and then either join the Meat Hygiene Service or the Environmental agency. Would recommend doing a masters in Environmental management or biochemistry.\n\nI

Yes and No. \nI think a course or two in which students engage in discussions about climate change, conscientious consumerism, fuel emissions, alternative power sources, pesticides, genetically modified food, human/environment interaction and its role in child health/development, the EPA and what it does/does not do, lobbying groups, waste/recycling, and other "hot topics" would be benefitial to all of us, but I don't think the courses should label themselves as explicity pro-environment/environmentalist. \n\nThe facts should speak for themselves. Give people the chance to learn about the environment, how it impacts their lives, and what their choices are, and I believe they will choose the right (the green/pro-environment) path.

I dated a guy who ran one.  He had his masters in microbiology and was in a doctorate program for something else....of course I can't remember now.  Sorry!!

Usually it is best in the practice of marine research, but one could become an adviser on marine impact issues for companies or the government or one could just get a job unrelated to their degree, very few jobs necessitate that someone has a particular degree - it is simply important to have one.

I am emailing your question to my son in T.O. who has an M.A. in environment studies and who works with imigrants in Canada on a daily basis. Hope he can help you.

At my university it is considered a really easy course, but I suppose it includes the lumber industry, fishing industry, agricultural and arable land organization.  I know the class focuses a lot on the sustainability of the different natural resourses and the process of taking the natural resource and turning them into the materials we use.  It could be a really boring class or really interesting.

Enviromental Careers, eh?\n1.  Professional Geologist - Can do anything that involves the earth.  Subsurface investigations for oil, water, methane, natural gas, and etc.  Also can provide foundation strength information for construction projects.  \n\n2.  Enviromental Consulting and Research - Does studies to investigate ground conditions for development.  Studies subsurface strata (composition, strentgh, and/or hydrology), provides summaries of contamination in the soil, and ways to clean up contamination.\n\n3.  Hydogeologist - studies groundwater supplies.  Most are independant or work for the gov't.\n\n4.  Enviromental Lawyers - they do all the leagl begal stuff\n\n5.  Enviromental Engineers & Landscape Planners - Provide ways to utilize green spaces to benficial for animals and humans.\n\nThere are many more, these are just off the top of my head.

Yes, absolutely. I know many students who've got a bachlors degree in one subject and a master's in something else. I'm going to do the same. Best of luck to you. =>

If you were really keen on botany, you could put specialization, or honours program!  It takes 4 years to get a degree (five if you're me).  Botany is a wicked degree, so keep that one!  You don't usually get two degrees, although you could do an after degree.  Most of the people I know take chemistry if they are in any type of biological sciences. Anyways, good luck!

I am assuming you mean job prospects.\n\nOne field that someone with this degree could find a lot of opportunity in is environmental consulting. Any time a developer wants to do something with land that will affect the local environment significantly, the county has to put together an environmental impact report. These reports discuss issues like noise, where water wil come from, how sewage and trash will be handled, effects on police services and fire departments, and in the case of land that was not previously developed, how the development will impact the wildlife.\n\nThe environmental consulting firms used by the county hire geologists, biologists, ecologists, botanists, and many other specialties from the Bachelors through the Ph.D. level. These people visit the sites, take measurements relating to their specialty and write reports used to asses the impact of the project to the environment.\n\nWith strong population growth and a high rate of urban development in the US this is a field that should continue to grow and flourish.\n\nThe availability of this type of work in countries other than the US would depend on the laws and regulations of each individual country.\n\nAfter several years working for environmental consulting firms, I know many specialists successfully split off from their employers to become freelance consultants with a large degree of success.
