    I am so happy that someone is making youtube videos about this degree. It is so new that not many people speak about it. I am in my final year and thank you for breaking down the different pathways to follow. I am doing environmental studies and i am sooo passionate about it and I'm thinking of heading for the legislation and EIA or even corporate. Still deciding.
