Many colleges offer courses and degrees in environmental studies as preparation for future careers.
While many kids are curious about environmental studies, they may not know the wide variety of careers available. One of the best ways is through internships. Your high school guidance department can be a good resource for getting ideas or finding an existing internship. The more specific the career goal or experience desired, the better. If the experience causes your child to choose environmental studies, the internship will also be of value on the resume when he or she goes in search of a job in the field.
