Hello ma,am ,I am from India , can you please make a career video on botnist.

I just think it's sad that the environmental science careers that pay the most (oil and gas) don't actually help the environment.
Apollonia Arellano what do u mean ?
Annabel Wang oil is damaging the earth (fracking is the term search it up)
@Brian Norton a person can take losing an arm that doesn't mean that if it's at all avoidable they should take precautions to not lose it, earth is the only planet we have we need to do our best to care for it
@Brian Norton fracking increases methane gas (25 times more potent than carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, pollutes the nearby area with dangerous chemicals and or causes oil spills, and can lead to increase earth quake activity, it's not a harmless process, it causes deep and long lasting damage to the surface of the earth.
@Brian Norton so beat the hell out of the earth until there's no more to give? That's your solution? What an ignorant stance you hold, why are you on a wildlife biology channel if you clearly disregard wildlife and the health of future generations of people and animals with this oil mess, by the time it runs out we won't be here to witness it because we'll be extinct
It's sad that people who destroy environment is getting paid more than who is protecting it 😢
FACTS, i was like why is mining workers getting payed more than environment scientist?
they are not really protecting the environment if they get paid and are part of the planet eating industrial economy. its all bullshit
@@prettythang3038 well i don't think mine workers have much of a say. They get paid based on how dangerous their job is. Which I agree with, but the job itself is what is harming the earth.
@@joanyou6254 How is it dangerous (not to come as rude but just curious). I thought they use machines and stuff
@@prettythang3038 oh because they're working underground and most times very far under the earth which exposes them to many toxins and lethal games depending on what they're looking for. The more they mine up top, the less of the materials they were looking for are (some exceptions), so they have to go deeper and further into the earth to find them. And it's not like they all have secure structures made under there, and there have been a lot of deaths and casualties related to working in mines. It's not an easy job and I sure wouldn't wanna do it, so the pay is understandable if it's my life on the line.
Geologists have their faults but they rock
Nice 👌
Geology rocks but geography is where its at
😜
Good one😂
@@jbscornerstore is a geography degree better?
1. Water Quality Scientist - 1:06

Thanks!
Thank you for the information and even more adding the specific time links to a career.
Please tell me how to become a water quality scientist
What if I want a degree in environmental science education like I want to teach it at high schools or colleges what would i major in to do that??? Help please lol
@@idontwearmakeup2478 you get a science degree and education certificate.
I think I might become a botanist. Plants are so interesting
Kiaora Kai good luck! Botanist is a very interesting job, I really want to become a botanist too :))
Same. I’m m just thinking about that for now. Who knows if may stay in this mindset in 3 more years or not? 🤷🏽♀️That’s why it’s good to have God in life.
I also wanna be a Botanist
I am doing a course ug botany ❣️it's really a imaginary adventurous life living with plants ❣️
I'm studying bs botany but I never want to be a botanist but now it sounds cool.
Not looking into any of these jobs, just supporting my fav wildlife biologist 🤗
🥰🥰🥰
Nice, what would you study for that? Tell me pls. I just want an idea.
My thoughts!
I'm so torn, I spent my whole life paying most attention to plants, bugs, and animals but now I'm more considering botany and entomology. Hard decision
I'm in the same boat! 😩
Do both
I feel that, I recently have realized just how incredible plants really are. I'll probably end up going into conservation
@@shyannrulander4352 hope you're younger than me, I'm 30. I make a decent living now but still want to pursue doing what I love, cant be busting your ass your whole life right?
What’s botany and entomology??
I may only be 11 but I've all ways had a love for plants so this really is the job for me their so fascinating and amazing and interesting a lot of the kids at my school think I'm weird for liking plants but I just roll with it
Im 13 and have been really interested in plants since the age if 11 too! Ive been thinking of being a botanist for a long time but want to look for more career options surrounding the environment. Not many people I know tend to have an interest in plants so im so glad there are other young ppl like me that like plants too!!
Omg same!!
I realized that i like plants bc i have biology in high school and we did a whole year doing plants
Good on you, nothing wrong with being passionate about something. Especially the environment.
Girl same but omg join ffa when you get into high school!!! They have classes over plants and have floriculture cde team that practically prepare you for skills that you use in botany and florist!!! Honestly best decision I made in high school !!! Greatest memories too!
Thank you so much for posting, with deadlines for university comming up soon, I’m getting stressed at what I should choose. The careers in your video sound really interesting, I’m considering becoming a water quality scientist
Thank you so much for all the different options. I will be majoring in environmental science and management and this really opened up my eyes to all the possibilities.
Currently in economics but feel like I’ve rushed into it and environmental science has always fascinated me and I’m a big fan of biology so maybe I should go down this road
What did you end up doing ?😁
Either way, I hope you end up doing what you love and enjoy!!
thanks so much for posting videos like these and giving incite on topics like jobs and internships as someone who’s already gone through it all. i’m a junior in college studying environmental science and watching your videos help ease a lot of my fears about job insecurity and succeeding in this field.
2 years later, did you end up getting a degree in environmental science? I’m a high school senior interested in majoring in this, and if you have time, could you explain a little about what your experience was like studying it?
@@ellenv3361 hey thanks for the reply! my degree actually has taken a bit longer than anticipated and i am currently a senior now with just one semester to go. i have absolutely loved studying this in college. my environmental science degree focuses on policy and sustainability and it has been extremely fascinating and exciting to learn about. if it is what you love, i would highly recommend majoring in this. if you have any more questions please ask and good luck to you! :)
Josh Siler not who asked but I have questions! I did Enviromental studies in college so covered a broad range of topics including the sciences and policy but I’m unsure which part of it I want to focus on more for a masters. How do you find the focus on policy and sustainability? What about it excites you? What kind of jobs are you looking at and in which sectors? Do you think you’d prefer to be more in the office or field? Sorry that’s a lot of questions but I’m really curious!
@@TheJoshSiler How is it going now?
Great video! Pursuing my bachelors in environmental science for park ranger once I get out of the military.
I’m finishing my 3rd year and I have no idea what to look at applying for 😭
Thanks for the info! Hopefully trying these keywords helps my job search 🙏. Subscribed
I got my env studies degree a while back. Don't even use it. It's great and all, but if I could do undergrad again, I would not go the same route.
Could you please explain why the env studies degree might not be useful.
Love this! I'd like to hear more about a Sustainability Specialist role. Thanks!
I wouldnt mind learning more about Sustainability Specialist. I haven't heard of that one before and it sounds very useful.
One of the most common career fields is environmental consulting, which also employ many geologists.
I've always been passionate about sciences and so I took the science curriculum back in High school but for some reason I took a totally different program in University and I feel lost. Now I want to study again, science this time.
I'm in the same situation as you. Not sure why I completely gave up on science when I first entered college. I thought something else would eventually spark my interest while taking gen ed courses but I honestly just feel so lost. I'm in my third year now currently taking bio chem and math. Thought I was striving to be an engineer but now I'm scared I'll hate it in a couple of months. I already feel like I wasted so much time.
i’m becoming a stripper at this point
jacqueline arambula i was studying that environment science but i switched its too difficult
@@John.1997. why is it difficult??if i may ask
Ashley a lot of science and math classes
@@John.1997. what kind of math classes did you take?
Ashley i gave up in trigonometry but you need algebra trig calculus 1-3 physics chemistry
Thanks. Been debating on this for too long. Now I am old and still want to get into this!
Thanks for talking about park ranger. I've been eyeing this one as my top go to but I understand it's notoriously hard to break into, not letting that dissuade me though. I do have some GIS and water quality classes coming up soon so my preferences are subject to change. Definitely interested in Part III and hope your new location/job is treating you well! Not that i'm not determined or anything, but I always get a little extra boost of motivation when you put out a video :D
Park ranger is notoriously competitive but if you’re willing to go to a remote park and work your way up it does get easier. The new job is AWESOME so far. And I’m so glad to hear my videos give you a boost! 🥰
Look into americorp programs where you can work on a state park and that should get you a leg in
As someone studying geology right now I just wanted to make a few comments. So only about 10% of geologists work in oil and gas exploration in the US. There are many other areas in this field of study such as environmental geology which is focused on risk mitigation from natural disasters when constructing new buildings, roads, etc, as well as reducing pollution. There are many jobs in research which typically focus on studying climate change or planetary science. There is hydrogeology which entails studying ground water to asses risk of drought, pollution or sustainable drinking water extraction (this is different from water quality scientist that was presented in the video, that career focuses more on surface water analysis whereas hydrogeology focuses more on ground water and interpretation of seismic data). And there is mining geology, mining sometimes gets a bad rep but as we move away from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy this requires innovative mining solutions for various minerals that are essential for the development of wind, solar, nuclear power etc. Some minerals we mine are also essential for our iPhones, laptops, medical technology and a lot more. And modern mining has been getting consistently more environmentally friendly and land remediation has also been consistently improving. I just wanted to make the point that geology is very diverse and there are a lot of careers outside of oil and gas.
Great input!
is a bachelors degree enough in order to get a job in any of those fields? just curious as to how the job market is, if there is a lot of competition, etc
@@domdabomb98 For hydrogeology you will need a masters degree and that job primarily entails groundwater exploration, in other words locating areas to drill new water wells. For mining and mineral exploration a bachelors degree will be enough but these companies typically only hire individuals who live where these activities occur. So in the US this will primarily be California and Arizona. The reason I say "typically" is because often times these jobs work on rotation of two weeks on and two weeks off of possibly living a remote area so this is something to consider because some people love it whereas others may not. In the future there will most likely be a high demand for geologists specializing in locating lithium deposits as lithium is essential for electric vehicles and electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops. For oil and gas it depends on the price of oil. So right now as you are probably aware of the price of oil has been increasing so petroleum companies are hiring more geologists regardless if they have a masters degree or not but if you really want to work in that industry I would recommend a masters degree for job security. Also, living in either Texas or California will help as these are two of the biggest oil and gas states in the US. Environmental geology jobs are primarily going to be located in California where active fault lines change the game when it comes to building infrastructure projects. Something else I want to add is that if you are really interested in hydrology consider maybe looking into civil engineering as a potential option as civil engineers can specialize in designing hydraulic systems for both drinking water and wastewater treatment whereas a hydrogeologist is someone who locates areas where fresh water can be extracted from and civil engineering will only require a bachelors degree. Hope this helps, good luck in your endeavors!
I love you for putting the time stamps.
One of my biggest goals in life is to have a job I love ❤️ thank you so much
Yeah !!! Do a part three!!!👍👍👍
Wow TH-cam’s algorithm actually worked for once! Thanks for the video, I’m trying to go into environmental sciences right now and I was wondering what I could do with the degree
Thank you for being here!
Wow, what a resource. Thank you for the video
So fun for wildlife biologists!You guys rock :D!
This is a start for me, I've always wanted to be a botanist but theres a couple new studies I found here that are really Interesting
Can you make a video about what specific skills you need to become a Wildlife Biologist, or what skills are wanted by employers?
Yes! I totally think you should do a part three. I am most interested in being a botanist, agronomist, or eco tourism manager. I am graduating this quarter, and don’t have anything lined up yet b
Nice!! Congrats on the upcoming graduation!
Hello I'm enjoying your videos!
Currently I'm taking an Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and I'm in the 1st year. I'm encourage to study more bucause of your video, thanks alot!
I love your videos! I'm an Environmental and Organismal Biology major and I frequently get a dreadful feeling when I'm thinking about finding a job in my field. I love ecology and would love a career in environmental conservation and even working to combat climate change, but my real passion is mycology. Specifically, mycorrhizal associations to improve plant growth and mycoremediation to help clean up the environment. Your videos are so helpful and make me feel so much better about my future. Thank you, Kristina!!
Hello, update?
Thanks for this video. Very informative!
Super organized and informative. Love it. Thank you so much.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!!
Loved this video. First timer, subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! As always very informative and helpful. Definitely do a part 3. I’m curious to hear about jobs in permaculture, regenerative agriculture, sustainable living and eco-city building and what jobs can help make our cities become more sustainable.
Ooh those are good ones! I will include when I have time to make a part 3
Good presentation and career opportunities of Environmental specialist. thank you for the presentation and sharing knowledge to those very interested about environmental study.
Thank you I’m going to look up Botanist. I had no idea that existed
I loved this information! Give us another one!
Thank you for this, it gives me clear direction with what i take a job after i graduate in BS Environmental Science. Hope to do it I want to go abroad and learn more.
Your videos are always so helpful so thanks for continuing to make great content!
Thank you!
I'm so glad I've found your channel! I was studying geology but dropped out because of all the math... I still want to find something within the environmental sciences so these videos are so helpful, thank you
was it difficult ?
@@ryandas1730 What exactly? The math? It wasn't extremely hard but there was just too much of it for me, I wanted to focus more on other things
@@wildthewaves what did you want to focus more on?
I too was thinking about Geology but I feel like I want to focus on the landscape (like a restoration of a land)... I don't know if what i just said makes sense 😅
@@mariangelamariangela4199 Yes that makes sense (: I also had geomorphology, which I liked a lot more. I'm also really interested in how landscapes are formed and also in the role water (rivers/oceans) plays. Do you prefer to study landscapes as in: how natural landscapes are formed or more: the biodiversity that's present in a landscape?
Because I think that's the biggest thing in deciding on which direction to go into. I thought I was just interested in how the earth works but turns out I like 'living things' a lot more than stones haha, so maybe thinking about that can help you too? For the forming of landscapes geomorphology and earth science can be a good route, for 'living things' ecology I think would be good. And then there are tons of studies focussing on just environmental issues, which might also be interesting for you? Idk, super long answer haha 😅
Mar Vé super helpful! I’m not who you replied to but geomorph was also my favourite part of geology! Not so much geochemistry and the rest. I happen to prefer the non living things though so I’m trying to figure out how I can do geology without a huge amount of math physics and chem, sounds deluded but I have to try lol.
THANK YOUU for these videos, Can't wait to see day in the life of your new job :)
Yess I’m filming it this week!
In my experience to get a fisheries or wildlife biologist job you should have a fisheries or wildlife biology bachelors versus an environmental science degree. Unless of course you have a lot of work and/or volunteer experience in those fields. That's one problem imo with an environmental science major -- it's sometimes too broad, not specialized enough.
My major is environmental studies and im looking at going into environmental sociology. However i wanted to say that many college offer certification in water quality and can be fairly short. Which can add something to you resume, expand your career opportunities, and complemental to your degree!
Water Quality Scientist or Fish biologist
Many years ago, I was debating between studying environmental science and computer science. I'm glad I chose the later. 🙈
It’s so hard to pick! In middle school in my area we are encouraged to pick a field to work in (science,engineering, math related fields, etc) because in high school we can do college courses so we don’t have to go to college for as long. I know, it’s insane.
Take your time and dabble into different fields!... time is on your side young grasshopper
Great stuff. Get a decent mic, heck even a kind of ok one and your videos will honestly be 10/10. ❤
thank you sm for the time stamps ♥
No problem 😊
I've just started studying Environmental Engineering and it's actually pretty cool! A big mix of a lot of topics 🙂
Is it enjoyable? Also would you say it’s difficult?
Is it hard?
Can you tell me about this degree and job prospects I'm thinking of studying it next year after i graduate
@@mosafi2978 A yes for both actually :D
@@filibertogutierrez1487 Some lectures are quite difficult, but it's bearable :)
I'm studying environmental management and toxicology. Could you please do a video on the toxicology part of the environment
i'm studying env.management.
I'm studying Marine Environment and Pollution Control.
A video would do please.
Thank you.
Finally my major!!
Thank you so much.
I studied Economics of Geology and Mineral Resources in Europe for about 4 years, and now continuing in Environmental studies, here in New York city, you gave me alot of new energy motivation, ideas, and i want to thank you again. I will follow your channel in future.
Awesome, thank you! Good luck with your studies :)
Environmental science is the academic field that takes physical, biological and chemical sciences to study the environment and discover solutions to environmental problems. Sciences used in environmental science include geography, zoology, physics, ecology, oceanology, and geology. Environmental science also branches out into environmental studies and environmental engineering. It provides an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental problems.
Im currently taking up my Environmental Science Degree . Thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️
Same here !!!
And how is that going for you? I really want to do the same, I'm a high school junior in APES right now. :)
Cortana so far so good I haven’t gotten deep into my science courses yet I’m taking static’s , a global class and ethics class that basically are opinion classes/research to give insight on the world around us and then a public policy course I’m enjoying my courses I think it’s a good program , you’ll enjoy especially if your opinionated and Hands on
I'm currently studying Environmetal Science rn and it's great actually. You get to learn so much about earth and why and how things happen. ITS GREAT
Can you tell me more about the pros and cons of taking environmental sciences? I'm really torn out deciding which I should choose. I''m considering animal sciences and this as my career path, but I'm having doubts if I can do it till the end😅 please give your opinion about it, thank u
Could you please let me know when the internship video is up? I'm going to do my degree on environmental psychology.!
I'm a environmental science student here in the Philippines. Thanks for your inspirational vlogs!!
Mico Cordero I'm also from the philippines pwede po bang mag tanong kung ano nga kinakaharap niyo ngayon sa kursong ES?
ano po ang mahirap sa bs envi?
@@cansitpanton5637 lahat naman ng mga course mahirap e, basta usto mo yung ginagawa mo and love mo talaga yung course nayon, everything will be fine!! Promise!! ❤️😍
AYOOO, at first I was doing. Some research for a project but now I’m invested
Hello kristina, back at it again with your awesome content. Thank you so much ❤️
I got two questions.
1) if I major in environment science, later when I go to grad school to specialise in one area through masters, but after a certain time if I want to specialise in another area, by getting masters in another area/field or you know change field/jobs, would I still be able to do that by having a bachelor's degree in environmental science?
2) no one talks about environmental jobs that can be done from home, are those kind of jobs available? If they are, what kind of are those.
For 1. You can go back to school and get a graduates degree in something unrelated to environmental science you just may need to take a few extra prerequisites classes for you new major. But it depends on how different the degrees are if they are still in the science field then you'll be okay but if your switching to a dance major your gonna need more classes. Hope I helped! :)
Yes, what Rose said! It depends how closely related the fields are. Yes environmental jobs can be done at least partially at home but they’re a bit harder to find. Many planning jobs do allow work from home a few days a week :)
@@kristina_lynn thank you ❤️you're the best
Hi! I am considering choosing a career in this field, but when it comes to ecological or environmental studies, in my country they are similar in practice but different in names. There's this one that is quite new and not everybody heard of it: it's ecological engineering. Do you guys think this is relevant to environmental studies and there's actually a job market for it?
Could you please do a series on what environmental jobs you can get without a environmental degree?
Most of those jobs
Agreed I don't want to be in debt.
@@Raccon_Detective. u can’t, they would easily take a person with a major. Rather than someone who doesn’t have one
@@Raccon_Detective. She has a video here: th-cam.com/video/Q-3KseGxoOw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. I am middle aged and haven't even started college yet. But better late than never. With an associates I could be a game warden.
You’re welcome and good luck on your journey, it’s never too late! And yes, an associates would be a great foundation to get a game warden job. 😃
man, you are the absolute best.
Thank you!!!!
please make part 3. Thanks a lot!!
I love this video! Thank you so much because soon I will begin my master degree on Environmental Science. Is there any way I could communicate with you so you could give some advice?
Botanist and Eco-Tourism sound the coolest, I can see a calm but rewarding life in nature
Thank you for the video! I have 1 more year left before before I graduate and I’m trying to get more experience. What would you recommend as a job if I have more outreach + teaching experience? ❤️
Im taking bachelor of Science in Environmental science degree hopefully to finished my study this year💚💚💚sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭
I took Environmental Science and now working as an Environmental Monitoring Officer for 2yrs and half.
It is more like of a Police for the Environment because of the enforcement, investigation, law implementation of all environmental laws. Also, being invited as a resource speaker for any environment related activities.
but..
In the Philippines our profession was badly compensated. 300 dollars a month is bad, and sometimes delayed for almost 4 months.
Thank you. Good info... "Happy are those who spend their days in gaining knowledge, in discovering the secrets of nature, and in penetrating the subtleties of pure truth!" ~ Baha'i Faith
I would love to know your Myer Briggs personality! I am not sure if I want to go into the environmental career field and I feel like if I understood the personality traits that correlate most with this field I might know if I am best suited for this :)
Hmmm I think the last time I took it, I got ENFP! And I'm a Type 4 enneagram.
Please to a part 3! Water quality❤
hi Lynn， the environmental cycling is associated to which subject and what potential market for this subject
I am reading environment science law and trust me it's fun but also hard and I always die while giving test and exams
Hi! I'm currently studying Environmental Management, I love the career but since I took the Ecology subject I fell in love with it, so I wanted to ask you if I drop Environmental Management and start doing Ecology, the change will be very drastic? (Besides, I would love to do field trips, being in an office is not my thing) Thanks for reading!
It will likely be more technical and scientific focused courses than environmental management. And you will be in the field much more! I would switch, that’s how I switched into ecology was taking my first ecology class and I fell in love and changed majors. You can do it!
When you say "botanist", "air quality scientist", etc. could you give an example of a specific job position or agency that this could be? Because usually job positions are listed as something a lot more specific than just those very general topics and areas of study
Also can I become a botanist if I have a degree from environmental science?
(My sentences are superficial sometimes ....
I meant a degree from ecology)
Geology❤
Im thinking hydrology but for sure geology
im super interested in botany, plant properties/biology, agriculture and our relationship with plants when it comes to medicine/food. any other videos on this topic?
No but I read a book that you might like on the topic called “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge and the teachings of plants”
Kristina Lynn thank you!
Hi Lynn am doing masters in environmental science,can someone link with you to get more experience in this field be through internships or any other practical work especially in eco tourism operator.Thank you.
Can you do a video on restoration and conservation of heritages and envionment art etc..
Really sucks with the pandemic I was unable to get an internship 😕 Now, I graduate next month and everything around me is closed and not hiring. I will have this degree with no experience, and as time continues to tik I continue lose out 😔 I have no idea what to do now, but continue to study so I don't lose out on knowledge; royally, sucks. I feel like noone will give me a chance once everything opens back up due to no experience.
Rn, I'm very stressed out deciding which program should I choose. I'm considering wildlife conservation or maybe animal sciences, however I'm still having doubts because it is reality and it's about my future...can you pls at least give me a motivation of why should I pick envi-sci because I'm really afraid of what my parents would react about life decisions that I'm doing :
Thank you sister.i read in environmental science in Bangladesh.
Hi! So I already have a BA degree in History but want to earn a MS in an environmental science field - maybe Forestry and Natural Resources? What are some ways I could prepare for this? I have experience with working for a municipal parks service as well as a greenhouse (if that helps?). Thank you!!
I’m about to move to the PNW for my partners job. I’m looking to make a life change, I want to be involved in wildlife.. conservation.. environmental impact...even organic farming... I want to learn and see where it can take me! I do not have a degree. I’m hoping so,done may have advice for an eager person like myself wanting to learn and work my way into the nature world.
Just throwing ideas out there, but the PNW has a lot of native landscaping design/gardening with native plants to improve wildlife habitat, or outdoor advocacy/naturalist positions that don't require degrees that you can look into! My best friend is a naturalist and we filmed a Q&A video the other day so keep an eye out for that.
So interesting.. informative
Thank you!
Why do all these salaries suck??😂
Starting salaries bud
Thank you again for this informative video :D Have you already considered contacting your friend who did the volunteering experience in the Seychelles? I'm really curious about his experiences on that trip :p
Yes I got a hold of him! He actually used to be the biologist that ran those volunteer programs. Here’s what he says on the program you were looking at:
As for Curieuse, I'd say it's worth it if you go for at least a month between October and January. To get the most out of it, I'd say do October-December, but it is expensive. If time/money is limited, I'd straddle as close to the December shutdown as possible to hit peak shark pupping and turtle nesting.
Internships are the best way to get hands on experience, extra responsibilities, mentorship, and training for leading field surveys and having an independent research project. That said, there are new projects coming in that i had a part in developing (acoustic tracking of sharks, baited remote underwater surveys) and others (invasive rat eradication) that run at other times of the year.
@@kristina_lynn Thank you so much for this information! It's so cool that he actually is the one who runs this program, what a coincidence :D And does he mean that it's best to do this programme from October until December? And if that's not possible only in December? The programme looks so interesting, I hope I will have saved enough money to have an opportunity like this.
Do you suggest doing a programme like this before or after my master's programme? I was thinking of doing it after my master's if I would still have some money. Or do you think that this experience will be more valuable for my future job than a master's degree?
I'm so happy that you could give me this information! You're the best! :)
PS: Part 3 of these kinds of videos would be amazing! :)
I@@fedraherman2276 I think he just meant doing a month minimum, at some point between oct and january. You could do it before or after but I would lean towards before if it were me as its good to get that background field experience for your masters degree, but you could do whatever way works for you:)
@@kristina_lynn Thank you! And that's actually true, this experience can indeed help me in my master's. If one day I decide to do the programme I will let you know and share my experience! :D Lot's of love from Belgium!
Hiii. I actually got admission for environmental technican diploma in a college . Is it a good program to study and for my higher education in future?
Does anyone know why a forestry/ag guy would come specifically to my neighbor's house and look around and then come on my property and aim a little handheld device that looks like a video game controller at my tree? As he was aiming it at the tree, he was pressing buttons. Any idea? Btw, he may have done that to my neighbor's trees as well, but they're in his yard, so I couldn't see any of that.
Hey Kristina,
Do employers look at the grades while hiring? Does it matter if you score a P or HD?
thank you very much for good explaining.
Nice vid. I work as a “eco tour and fishing guide” I have a science degree in environment but if you get one specifically to work in eco tourism it is idiocy. If you want one to just have a degree awesome but it is not needed in any way to be a eco tourism guide.
Good insight thank you for this comment! Do you think most of the people in your field have degrees or is it not that common?
