Recommended environmental science related volunteer opportunities ?
Hi! I am a sophomore in high school, and I'm starting to think more about college and what I can do to increase my chances of getting into a college of my choosing. I'm currently taking AP Environmental Science, and I'm interested in entomology and other nature related subjects. I've done some beach clean-ups and volunteer work at nature centers, but I feel like I could do more. I was wondering what environment/nature related volunteer opportunities would be a good idea?

How do I proceed when I have a lot of possible careers but not enough experience in any to work full-time?
I realized late into my college experience that I didn't want to work a math job at all so I finished out my Math degree and am now struggling to find a full-time job I feel qualified for. I have a list of 5 or so potential careers (Including but not limited to: Singer-Songwriter, Writer, Naturalist, Photographer, Artist), but I don't feel like I'm at the point where I could pursue any of them full-time. I'm wondering if I should just get a math job and explore the other options in my free-time, if I should just find any job related to my current interests, or if I should put off getting a full-time job until I get a little clearer in my objective. I'm alright on cash for now, I'd just prefer not to live with my parents for longer than I have to. I'm most likely overthinking this and you probably would need some more information to give a solid path forwards, but whatever. I'm here to listen. Thanks for all your help!

What should I choose? A good environment, top university but in the countryside and doesn't have the course I wanna pursue or college school in the city and having a scholarship?
What keeps holding my thoughts back is if I choose to study in the countryside but I'm afraid that my city scholarship will remove because in the meantime there's still a covid-19 in my country so the classes are held online. If I choose the university in the countryside, I'm still in the city because of online classes since there's still no face-to-face now. And no scholarship. But, if face-to-face classes will back again I will be in a good place. Top, big, & nature university. If I choose a city college school, I'm still in the city but with a scholarship. And, pursuing the course I pursue. #college #scholarship #college-admissions #university #financial-aid #topuniversity #nature

All my life I have longed to protect nature, but what careers would allow me to do this?
I have never been a confident speaker, nor have I ever desired learning about laws or policies, but I love to be outside working with my hands. Whatever career I choose, I would love to know I am making a direct, positive impact on the natural world. #environmentalist #high-school-student #college #high-school #environmental-science #green-jobs #nature #career-path #careers
LafayetteHow do I find a job that incorporates everything I love to do? What degree should I pursue?
I am absolutely in LOVE with the outdoors and travel. My favorite subjects in school have always been Geology, Earth Science, and Biology. I am very passionate about the environment and sustainability. I look forward to all my classes, and I really enjoy being a student in general. College is my happy place, I think because of how much a I enjoy learning. I consider myself a relatively creative person too- I spend a lot of time on art projects and writing. Any suggestions for me? I would like to combine my love for nature/science and my creative thinking :) #science #nature #geology #creative-professions #travel

Do you see a lot of cross-over in the areas of expertise of people with different Earth Science degrees?
There are many different degrees relating to Earth Science, like Geophysics, Applied or Near-Surface Geophysics, Geochemistry, Geology, pure Earth Science, etc, and different colleges offer different ones. I know that there are technically differences between them, but I also know that college degrees can often prepare students for a variety of careers. Do you often see people with different degrees working on the same projects in similar professions? Have you ever been limited in any way by the degree path you chose? Do certain degrees within Earth Science better prepare students for certain activities and responsibilities than others do? #environmental-science #earth-science #nature #geology #geophysics #oil #hydrologist #geochemistry
