Tips for Entry
During summer vacation, volunteer with a company with which you have shared environmental interests to learn more about it.
If your school doesn't have an environmental club, consider starting one with friends. The article "How to Start an Environmental Club at Your School," published by Scientific American is one resource. Read it online at http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-start-an-environment-club.
Take as many science, computer, speech, business, and math classes as possible while in high school to help prepare for this career.
Become a member of environmental organizations to connect with others interested in this field.
