Working Toward A Better Environment - Some Career Choices Environmental Protection Agency Washington, D.C. {Pre-pubtication Print! ------- 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. 3 ------- 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 operator Laboratory aide Tech./Voc. Sch. 1-2 years Water treatment Tech./Voc. Seh. J -2 years plant operator or College 4 ------- Technician (laboratory, Tech .fVoc. Sch. 2-3 years medical, chemical) (range of skills depending on work) Electronic technician Tech./Voc. Sch. 2-3 years OT College Civil engineer College 4 years Sanitarian professional College 4-5 years (public health worker) High school teacher College, University 4-5 years Environmental engineer College, University 4-6 years College teacher College, University 5-7 years Research biologist. College, University 7-8 years ecologist Public health physician College, University 10 years 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. 7 ------- JUNIOR COLLEGES CAL IFORNIA Contra Costa College A nn: John Wixon San Pablo, California 94806 Sanitation and Water Technology San Diego Junior Colleges Office of Vocational Education Ann: Ha l Rand San Diego, California 92101 Water & Wastewater Technology Inight courses l COLORADO FL ORWA (continued) Pinellas Park, Florida 33665 Environmental Technology (planned) GE ORG/A Atlanta Area Vocational Tecttnlcal SchQol Ann: A.
