Education and Training Requirements
High School
High school students should develop their skills in chemistry, math, biology, and ecology. Since this type of work also involves an understanding of how businesses work and of government regulations, take some general business and government electives, as well. English and speech classes will help you develop your communication skills, which you'll use frequently to write reports and interact with colleagues.
