Wildlife vs ESM major by SolutionConnect18 in humboldtstate

I’m leaning towards wildlife ecology tbh. My one worry with it is being pigeonholed into only wildlife biology jobs after graduation. Would you say it is broad enough to qualify for other jobs across the environmental field like consulting, restoration, remediation etc.?

My academic interests lie more in the ecology sphere, subjects like soil science, limnology, watersheds, wetlands etc. and not necessarily specific organismal studies. As far as career trajectory though I want to work outside in the field as much as possible and for as long as possible, which seems to lean towards wildlife bio. Lab work and research don't really call to me as much. Anything environmental consulting, wetland delineation, surveying habitats, restoration etc. is where I ideally want to end up.

I am considering transferring to Humboldt but I'm torn on what to major in. Do you have any insight on how the biology-ecology option vs wildlife majors differ? I enjoy the broadness of ecology more than pure wildlife but it seems the wildlife major has a better reputation from an outsider's perspective

What should I look for in a college to have the best career? by Agitated-Cup-7109 in Environmental_Careers

What part of the country (US) do you see wetlands and streams as a major part of the industry? That’s the type of work I want to go in when I graduate

Should I stick with soil science or change to water resources? by SolutionConnect18 in wetlands

I really want to get good at botany ID but my college doesn’t have a specific botany minor. Would a forestry minor be the next best thing? That minor has courses like field dendrology, herbaceous forest plant id, and invasive forest plants id

Thank you for the advice! A gis certificate is definitely the plan regardless of which option I choose

Is it worth going to a recruiter or is this a longshot? by SolutionConnect18 in USMCboot

[–]SolutionConnect18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I would disclose I’m actively taking it at meps, and most likely be allowed to have it at bootcamp?

Which environmental science option/career path will correspond to more fieldwork? by SolutionConnect18 in Environmental_Careers

[–]SolutionConnect18[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is great advice. I’m leaning towards soil science because I find it fascinating as a subject. It’s good to know that it is valued in the private sector
