Thinking of exploring a new career? You may want to go green.
I liked this CNN article, Growing excitement, expectations for green jobs corps. It talks about how many people are seeking jobs in the "green" (that used to be environmental) industry. While not all companies are flourishing, this is a huge market. And with all the stimulus money being siphoned into it, working in the environmental field may be worth it.
Where should you look? Thank the Environmental Defense Fund--they've mapped out more than 1,200 firms from 12 "heartland" states that stand to benefit from Barack Obama's proposed cap on carbon emissions. (See if your state is included by clicking the link at the bottom right side of the page.)
If you decide to look for a "green-collar job" remember that you don't need an environmental degree for all of them. Environmental companies hire all types of professionals--from human resource managers to accountants.
