What do you do with your green(er) online degree? Find yourself a green job! There are the standard green jobs – or, ones that are in the environmental sector of the workforce. They are referred to as “green collared workers” and according to Wikipedia,
Green collar workers include professionals such as conservation movement workers, environmental consultants, environmental or biological systems engineers, green building architects, holistic passive solar building designers, solar energy and wind energy engineers, green vehicle engineers, organic farmers, environmental lawyers, ecology educators, and ecotechnology workers. They also include vocational or trade-level employment: electricians who install solar panels, plumbers who install solar water heaters, and construction workers who build energy-efficient green buildings, wind power farms, or other clean, renewable, sustainable future energy development workers could all be considered green jobs.
Of course, there are more companies that are going green every day by eliminating paper use (and only using email and the internet, as opposed to faxes and mass mailings) and using renewable energy. Greenforall.org is a great resource to find out how to get involved in this sect of the economy and help the planet out while doing so!
