I studied environmental science as a major and am working in hazardous waste site remediation, water and wastewater treatment, and dabble in assisting some civil engineering projects.
That's very cool! One of my friends in undergrad did a co-op working with a wastewater / hazardous waste treatment company. It seemed like a surprisingly (to me at the time) vibrant field, with lots going on!
It's good to hear about people giving the industry a try! There is really so much career opportunity, and it's not going anywhere. I've weather multiple recessions, housing crises, economic booms and downturns in this industry and it is just steady, because it is so essential. I hope more people consider it as a career because the field is suffering for lack of licensed professionals.
