    I can’t even say how helpful this was. I just switched to environmental science because i have a passion for animals. There is not one animal specifically that I only want to help. I want to help animals and the environment as one big whole. This video really helped me know this is the right path for me. I know with this major I will be able to make the impact I so badly want to. I really couldn’t be more excited.

      I am so excited at the expansion of this field! I was an animal-loving pre-vet major in undergrad and switched midway because I was unhappy. I never looked back after switching to EHS. I continued through grad school and am now about 10 months out from having a phd in it :) Still love animals - my two cats and one dog have kept me sane through all of this. Best of luck to you in your studies as an environmental health scientist!!

    Honestly this is my first time seeing an environmental science CZcamsr. I’m glad I found this channel. 3 years ago I was searching for videos regarding environmental sciences but YT results only came up with foreign university promotion material. I ended up going to Australia (I’m from Sri Lanka) to study a 3-year degree and it was worth it! The knowledge and the experiences in studying and interning with environmental groups made me more curious about the world we live in. Now I’m a graduate in environmental sciences and looking to advance in to research and sci com!

      I hope you find something that suits you and makes you happy. Some colleges offer "tracks" like a medical vs. non-medical track. Non-medical track will cut out quite a lot of the more challenging classes like physics and organic chemistry. Our program also offers leniency with internships, for instance, working in a professor's research lab at your college for a summer could count as an internship. I recommend meeting 1:1 with the advisor or coordinator and exploring your options, if you haven't already. Best of luck to you!

      I think you should stick with environmental science and finish with that major. I majored in environmental management which is easier but most jobs will not accept people with that major. They only want environmental science, biology, or geology majors for remediation and environmental analyst jobs that are common in my area. It's been 10 years and has been a struggle. I may try to do a masters in Environmental Science.

    I live in Michigan and I have a bordline obsessive passion for fishing and the outdoors. Being 31 I questioned whether or not I could attempt college again after a brief try in my teens. All your videos helped me a lot informatively on what to possibly expect going into this career and greatly appreciate that. 1 of my main goals is to help protect this regions waterways from what seems like an insurmountable task of the Asian Carp Invasion (bighead, silver, grass). I am currently in the last 2 semesters of getting my Associates in Science from Macomb C.C and transferring to University of Michigan-Flint to get my Bachelor's in Wildlife Biology. It always felt right to pursue this career and to reiterate, A lot of your videos have only influenced me and excited me more than ever to complete what I set out to accomplish. Thank you.

    I am currently studying Tourism and Hospitality Management. When Covid-19 hit, the tourism industry stopped. Even for Tourism, I had to learn Environmental Conservation. Without these destinations, there is no tourism. That's when I got so interested in Environmental preservation and Sustainability. I am from Myanmar, where a democratically elected government is detained by the brutal military and inevitable civil war is about to happen. So my school stopped since we boycotted military terrorists. But on the bright side, I got another chance to change my major from Tourism to Environmental Science that a country like Myanmar needs. I am applying for a scholarship now. Hope I can learn the subject I wanted to learn and contribute back to my motherland when this long nightmare finishes. Thanks for all the facts and experiences you shared. I like to grow plants and flowers.

    I graduated in 2013 with an environmental science degree and obtained a master's degree in natural resources in 2017. I left the environmental field due to the low pay nature of the positions and constant seasonal work with no benefits. It is also exhausting battling 100+ other applicants for a permanent job. The jobs themselves are rewarding, but after countless hours worrying if I would be able pay rent or if I would have a job in five months, I couldn't do it anymore. I am glad that you were able to make it work and are still excited about the field.

      Hi Trent! Minors aren't essential but if you want to do one some good choices are GIS or a minor in a specialty subject you're interested in (like zoology, botany etc). GIS is useful across all disciplines. Employers mostly look for interenship and/or research experience on your resume!

I'd like to be a park naturalist or park ranger or maybe even both since, park rangers are naturalists, too. Does my choice of studies seem like a good choice? I know there's many other earth sciences I could study like conservation law, environmental management, ecology, biology, etc! Do you know if the one I chose to study would be right for what I want to do?

My fears in the field were mostly revolving around people to be honest, like my personal safety, and they were way less once I got out more so I would recommend starting with local nature hikes to get used to being exposed to the wild - of course, when everything is safe to do so for covid :)

      If your goal is to be a scientist, you'll need some sort of natural science major like ecology, environmental science, biology. If you just want to learn more about the environment but aren't interested in being a scientist necessarily, you can see if your university will let you take some ecology courses!

      I haven't worked too much on the forestry side, but I think an environmental science major would be a good choice for that.

      Every school is different but environmental studies majors are seen as less technical "science-y" than an environmental science major. If you're interested in being a scientist, definitely go with the environmental science major. It can be tough out there for environmental studies majors to get hired over someone with the technical science education.
