Your career path must be a blend of passion and practicality, a principle that holds true for any profession. Before you embark on this journey, take a moment to ask yourself some key questions. What will be the return on the time I invest from now till the end of this journey? What kind of work will I be doing after choosing a particular path? What does the future look like in both scenarios? How secure will my financial situation be?

In the realm of Pharmaceutical Business, a plethora of opportunities await you. You could become a registered Pharmacist and run your own Pharmacy store, or you could find your place in a large multinational pharmaceutical company, working in sales, marketing, research, regulatory or commercial operations.

As for Environmental Sciences, you can opt to delve deeper into research and work at a University, exploring the subject further. Alternatively, you could take up environmental roles in corporations that are committed to reducing their environmental footprint.

Remember, both paths can also be pursued in a broader career like consulting, allowing you the flexibility to keep your options open even after graduation, regardless of your major.

abhi’s Answer

Within the natural sciences, environmental science is very much a generalist degree. Focusing primarily on both the understanding of our natural and man-made environments, environmental science degrees draw from diverse fields of studies and require a strong background in the more traditional sciences: biology, physics, chemistry, geography, and ecology. In addition, environmental science degrees also draw heavily from the social sciences, such as economics, business, or sociology. The degree to which any of these fields of study becomes prevalent within an environmental science education largely depends on the specialization one chooses. Due to the fact that environmental science is a generalist degree, students often complete specializations within a more select area, i.e. energy, sustainability, conservation, etc. True to most science degrees, environmental science programs often require significant field work, lab work, or other data-oriented work.
