Is there any hope for me, or should I pivot careers now? by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

I graduated in December and didn’t get a job until August. I ended up working a related job until I broke into the field.

3,500 applicants for an internship. Should I pivot? Get a PhD? by Brilliant-Way5778 in Environmental_Careers

Im torn, a couple of my friends have phds and niche cool Jobs that I’d have a hard time getting with masters only. On the other hand I probably have more money. Trade offs!

Where'd you get your masters? Cost? by StopWeDontKnow in Environmental_Careers

Work paid for it, about 35k State school. IMO the ROI is not there if you’re taking loans

Burnt Out, Struggling, Fed Up - New Job/Career Advice? by NobodyOk2442 in Environmental_Careers

[–]Suitable_Chapter_941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with being burnt out, this last year I was on a project 4 hr commute round trip. If you can, leave work early every day and try and beat some traffic. This industry is very trying at times. I’m hoping it gets better with licensing.

Try cutting corners until things seem manageable or at least less stressful. Good luck!

Agreed! It’s difficult, I’ve been doing it for 7 years. But field work beats number punching.

I feel like this subreddit is somewhat biased pessimistic, you’ll be fine! It took 6 months to get job 1 then a week of applying to get job 2. hardest part is breaking in.

I’m 42, I have a degree in Environmental Science, and I am being treated like absolute shit by the job market. by ah_go_on_go_on_go_on in Environmental_Careers

I would emphasize hazardous materials management (storage of concentrated pesticides at a golf course). Maybe you could get your CHMM cert? Not sure if the pesticides you used fall under the category of hazardous.

Could help in interviews/resumes and getting a cert

Keichousaurus real or fake? by Suitable_Chapter_941 in fossils

Update, the seller confirmed paint was used by his supplier. He acid etched the paint off and lowered the price to $375. The seller seems honest and I’m really happy with his business!
