Should I take AP Environmental or Careers in Education?
I need help!! I'm going into 11th grade next year and I need to pick between these two classes! APES gives me rigor and another AP to add onto my list but overall I want to major in elementary education in college so I feel like I can gain more experience. My counselor said that I can take Careers in Ed my senior year and that APES will look better and counts for my GPA while Careers in Ed doesn't. Yet he said if I won't be happy take Careers in Ed. I feel like I just want to have a class to enjoy and look foward to instead of a class I would dread but I can't stop thinking about what colleges like more class difficulty or experience? Please help!

What are some fulfilling career paths in sustainable and ethical industries?
I’ve noticed growing opportunities in industries like: - Plant-based food systems (developing sustainable food alternatives) - Sustainable agriculture (farming practices that protect our planet) - Environmental protection (conservation, policy, and advocacy). Could you share more about career paths in these fields? What skills or education needed to get started? Are there emerging roles that you see gaining traction in the coming years? *Note: This is an anonymous community-submitted question.

How are some good ways to get into conservation internships in Northeast Texas?
Hello, I am an undergrad biology student at TAMUT. I am pursuing a Bachelor's of Environmental Biology degree. My top goal is to try and land a job as a Wildlife or Fisheries Biologist for a state or federal agency. Unfortunately, that requires a degree in conservation for most of those agencies, which then requires me to pursue a graduate degree since a BS Biology will not cut it for most agencies. These positions also requires job and internship experience. For about a year, I have been searching for internships from the agencies in the Texarkana region, but the very few internships or entry level jobs I find are always several hours away. I am a volunteer for Texas Parks and Wildlife, but that will not help me land a career later down the line I am told. Does anybody have advice or resources?

Does any job available after studying environmental studies provide the chance of working with animals/doing field work in general AND pays well? what are some other good jobs available?
As someone who loves animals and hopes to work with them, I am considering pursuing environmental studies. I am aware that environmental science/engineering tend to be more reliable when it comes to jobs, but environmental studies interests me the most, so does working outside and actually doing field work instead of a standard desk job. Are there such opportunities, realistically, for environmental studies students that also have reasonable pay?

Any interesting jobs involving psychology and the environment?
I am a recent graduate with my bachelors in Psychology. I am currently working at a school for a non-profit organization but I just feel like my heart isn't truly in it. I do like psychology I find it very fascinating but I have a huge passion for the environment. To be specific I am always interested in learning how our choices and actions affect the environment and what we can do to lessen our negative impacts. I'm not sure if there is anything out there that can bring my two passions together so I can work as something I would truly love. #psychology #career #environment #jobhelp #advice
