       WORKING  TOWARD  A BETTER
       ENVIRONMENT - SOME CAREER
                       CHOICES

   Polluted air and water, despoiled land, crowded slums, suburban
 sprawl, traffic jams, and noise are direct and unwelcome results of
 technological progress, population growth, and a rising standard of
 living.  Our consumption  of goods and services is increasing  so
 rapidly that we  are in danger of destroying the environment in
 which we live, of misusing our limited resources of materials and
 energy,  and perhaps even  making  man's  survival  on earth im-
 possible.
   So rapidly is our environment being changed that in some aspects
 our  problems are near the crisis stage. Oil spills from ships or off-
 shore wells ruin  beautiful beaches and kill birds and fish. Polluted
 air in  many cities sharply  increases disease and death rates, Un-
 sightly dumps blight our landscape. Pesticides and other toxic sub-
 stances enter the plant-and-animal food chain and poison our food.
 Wastes, ranging from household detergents to industrial chemicals,
 help turn clear lakes and rivers into scummy swamps choked with
 algae.

   "What can I do to help solve such problems and improve our
 environment?"
  This question is being asked  by thousands of young people who
are in the process of  choosing a career. How can I earn a living and
help  make the world  a better place to live in? What education do I
need? Where can I get it?

 The  Range of Choices
   Since virtually  every human activity affects the environment,  so
 almost every type of work can be oriented to environmental im-
 provemenjt, directly or indirectly. The range is enormous and covers
 all levels of skill and training.
   Some  may choose a career  directly concerned  with environ-
 mental management: pollution control work, for instance. But this
 is not the only  setting in which important contributions can  be
 made. The world needs workers  in every business and professional
 field  whose basic skills  are  enhanced  by an  understanding  of
 ecological relationships and a dedication to environmental improve-
 ment.

-------
The checklist of career fields Table 1) is not complete, but it
shows the principal professions needed to increase our knowledge
of environmental problems and to extend and improve methods of
environmental control.
The list is divided into four basic categories. The division is arbi-
trary; many of the fields might logically be placed in a different
category.
Table I. Checklist of Environmental Related Career Fields
BASIC SCIENCES
Physics
Chemistry
Geology
Biology (Botany, Zoology, Entomology, etc.)
Ecology (A relatively new basic science, concerned
with living things in relation to their
physical environment and to other life
forms)
Meteorology (Study of air, weather)
Oceanography (Study of oceans, currents, ocean life)
Limnology (Study of lakes)
APPLIED SCIENCES
Mechanical Engineering (Power, machinery, mechanical processes)
Chemical Engineering (All chemical processing)
Civil Engineering (Public works, roads, tunnels, structures.
The design of water systems. waste water
treatment systems, and solid waste disposal
systems requires civil engineering skills)
Architecture
Landscape Architecture
Agronomy (Agricultural science)
Statistics (This belongs in all four categories, since
statistical principles govern the design of all
experiments and the gathering and
interpretation of all data)
2

-------
Table I. Checklist of Environmental Related Career Fields (continued)
HEALTH SERVICES
Preventive Medicine
Bacteriology (Key field in water pollution control)
Epidemiology (The transmission and spread of disease)
Toxicology (Study of poisons and their effects)
SOCIAL SCIENCES AND SERVICE
Sociology (Study of human societies, communities)
Economks
Law (Environmental law is a new and growing
specialty for lawyers)
Social work
Urban planning
Soil conservation
Forestry
Recreation (Park operation, planning, and
n ‘iagement)
Education (i caching of environmental subjects)
Writing, publicity (For newspapers, magazines, radio and
television programs on environmental
questions)
These career fields require men and women professionally
trained, usually at the graduate level, with master’s or doctor’s de-
grees. Almost alt of them also require assistants whose jobs, though
challenging and interesting, do not require so much academic train-
ing. Such “paraprofessionals” include laboratory or instrument
technicians, repair and maintenance people, computer specialists,
and skilled operators of complicated equipment. Some may get
their training in junior and community colleges; others in post-
high-school technical institutes, through part-time or evening study,
or on the job in a kind of informal apprenticeship.
The need for such skilled workers is increasing, especially in en-
vironmentally related scientific and technical work.

Planning Your Career
Your own interests, abilities, and personality will help you nar-
row your career choice. Some of the questions you should ask are:
Do you like to work with people or things?
Are you interested mainly in theory, knowledge, and ideas; or
in practice and application?
Do you like detail and specifics, i.e., specializing, or do many
different things interest you, things you want to relate,
combine, and synthesize?
You would be wise to supplement your own hunches by taking
advantage of professional guidance services offered through your
school counselor, or public or private job placement and counseling
programs. All sorts of tests are available which can help you get a
fix on your aptitudes for various types of work.
Friends or acquaintances who are studying or working in a field
that seems attractive to you can provide helpful information.
Libraries and book stores have occupational guides and catalogs
describing courses offered in vocational and technical schools,
colleges and universities. Don’t overlook any source of competent
advice.
Your career choice will be dictated, in large part, by your apti-
tudes and interests. However, you may also want to consider the
length of training required and how much time and money you can
spend before you must start earning a living in your chosen field.
Here are some examples:
Years of Training
Career Institution Beyond High School
Incinerator operator On the job 3-6 months
Sanitary landfill On the job 3-6 months

Environmental Courses and Curricula
Universities and colleges throughout the country have reacted to
the wide interest in environmental studies by adding courses in such
fields as ecology, marine sciences, urban problems, urban planning,
population, and so on. Special courses are being offered in air and
water pollution control, solid waste management, waste product
reclamation, and similar subjects.
In addition, many community colleges and vocational institutes
have started training programs directly concerned with environ-
mental work. These courses are variously called environmental
science, water and waste water technology, air pollution techno-
logy 1 solid waste technology, radiation technology, and so on.
Environmental Employers
Where might you expect to work in your environmental career,
and who could be your employer?
5

-------
Environnientalistr are found in laboratories, in universities, in
factories and po awr plants, in water works and sewage treatment
plants, and state and local government offices. Others are on the
road, sampling, measuring, and collecting data, and selling and
servicing equipment. A small number may do their work in remote
and exotic locations; on ships at sea, in diving gear on the seabed, or
in high-flying aircraft.
Local governments need workers in waste collection and disposal,
in water and seweragesystems, in air pollution enforcement, city
planning, milk and food protection, sanitation programs, and simi-
lar fields concerned with the local environment.
State and regional governmental bodies need workers in the same
fields, with more emphasis, perhaps, on planning and surveillance
than on operations.
The Federal Government is likewise increasing its environmental
responsibilities. Much of the Federal effort goes into the funding of
basic and applied research and in developing and demonstrating new
techniques of pollution control. The employment which these
funds support is primarily non-governmental; in universities, in-
dustrial laboratories, and other institutions for research and de-
velopment.
Private industries—manufacturing, mining, power generation, pe
trochemicals, and other types—should provide increasing job oppor-
tunities for pollution control specialists. Moreover, the development
and the marketing of air and water cleaning equipment, processes to
reduce pollution, and systems for the reclamation of useful mate-
rials from waste is a growing field. The emphasis on environmental
quality provides a challenge to the designer of products and
packaging to meet the need for safety and disposability.
Educational and research institutions constitute a third large
category of environmental employer. Teachers of environmental
subjects are needed at the college and graduate school levels. Aware-
ness of environmental problems is increasingly affecting the subject
matter taught in primary and secondary schools. Environmental
quality is a concept that is relevant and enriching at even the
kindergarten level.
6

-------
Research institutions and laboratories, whether connected to uni-
versities or independent, need scientists and engineers in many of
the fields listed in Table 1.
Environmental careers are wide open and expanding. They offer
a wide range of career choices that can be satisfying to you and
beneficial to society—careers which contribute in direct and tangi-
ble ways to the betterment of the world in which we live.
