 100
Jobs in the Environment by Debra
Quintana
The format of this book is wonderful: each left page
lists a job, duties, salary, prospects, education needed, etc.; each
right page tells the story of someone who has this job - how they got
it, what they do all day, where they see themselves going. The
information isn't in-depth, but it's certainly complete enough to help
you decide whether to further investigate a career. I definitely plan to
look at other "100 jobs" books for guidance as I try to figure
out what I want to do! -- Anonymous review
100 Jobs in the Environment has given me a knew perspective on my
career choices. As a college student my self and fellow classmates have
used this this book to guide our environmental careers. The author has
given the reader clear career descriptions and interviews with
successful environmental professionals. With each description of a profession
is information on where to get education and training on some of the
newest environmental jobs in the country. This book is so well liked by
my teachers and fellow students that I had to put my name on it. -- Anonymous

Yes -- the book gave descriptions, qualifications and
even starting salaries for 100 jobs -- but no examples of companies in
each area. There is a profile of a person for each job -- but again, no
company names are listed, only broad descriptions. I'm looking into a
career change and want actionable information...which for me this book
did not possess. -- Anonymous review
If you are seeking to be an environmentalist I recommend this book --

The Green Economics Website. The Economics Working
Group (EWG) was formed as a project of the Tides Center in 1993 to bring together
professionals and advocates to examine underlying economic issues related to environmental
sustainability and to promote public education on these issues. As a result of this
dialogue, the EWG developed a General Agreement on a New Economy, GANE, which suggests a
structure that would allow communities to move toward sustainability, equity and full
employment. The purpose of GANE is to encourage dialogue and engagement on these
fundamental issues through this website and through presentations and workshops around the
country.

The National Commission for Economic Conversion and
Disarmament is a non-profit, non-partisan research and public education organization
dedicated to educating the public on the need and the means for an orderly transfer of
military resources to civilian use. The end of the Cold War gives us an unprecedented
opportunity to reverse the arms race, build a new foundation for international security,
and reorient billions of dollars in the defense budget to our neglected domestic needs.
What holds us back are the millions jobs and the economic health of whole communities and
whole sectors of our economy that are currently dependent on military spending. |
