    You explained the difference between environmental studies and environmental sciences really well(especially when you made the example) . I really needed clarity on that. Thank you❤️

    I wish I knew this before I chose this study. Because during the years I now realize that it's so extremely broad. Now I really love the study.

    Environmental Science encompasses the economy and socially. These 2 are part of the 3 pillars of sustainability.

      Hi. The easiet thing to do is to just Google "environmental science jobs in SA" so many options pop up. From there you can make a list of the major companies in the field and visit their websites find out more. I mention a few of these companies in one of my videos...I think it was titled "careers in env. sciences"

    So would this be an appropriate course for a college sophomore who needs to fill their science credit? I don’t have a desire to major in this (as far as I know) and I don’t want an extremely challenging course.

    • @KatlegoMakgopo

    • @KatlegoMakgopo
      @KatlegoMakgopo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, yes! I highly recommend you do an MSc. Especially if you want to work as a scientist. Also having an MSc is an advantage cos of all the practical skills you learn vs just a bachelor's degree. I suggest you look around different universities and see what they offer for their MSc programs and you can also check out a video I made on how to apply for postgraduate studies. I hope that helps 😊

      Hello Precious 😊. What specific content or information are you looking for in the textbooks?
      My advice is, first search the topic you want info about on Google and see what sources come up. Google might also suggest books for you to check. You can then go to your university library and see if they have the books. I hope this helps 🌱

    • @KatlegoMakgopo
