Being a sustainability studies major opens the door to a wide range of opportunities. From science to business to journalism, odds are, there\u2019s a way to channel your passion for sustainability studies into the career path that\u2019s most exciting to you. But with so many opportunities out there, deciding on that path might feel a little overwhelming. One way to narrow your focus is by taking on a <\/span>paid or unpaid internship<\/span><\/a> during college. This will help you build up your skillset while also helping you identify the type of career that\u2019s right for you. In the process, it will also give you a better idea of the type of entry-level jobs to apply for. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some of the most common entry-level jobs for sustainability studies majors:<\/p>\n

Accountant or auditor <\/b><\/p>\n

As an accountant or auditor, you\u2019ll be responsible for keeping track of how your company\u2019s sustainability programs are performing, including how much money the company is spending versus saving in its effort to be more environmentally friendly. You\u2019ll also measure and report on how much your company\u2019s efforts are helping the environment in areas like recycling and waste reduction. Energy auditors specifically focus on building inspections, looking for sustainability-related improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analytic Methods Analyst<\/b><\/p>\n

In this role, you\u2019ll be making key business decisions by analyzing data from military and commercial aircraft systems, aircraft operations and maintenance records. You will be responsible for anticipating any issues with aircraft fleets, studying results and tracking success. You\u2019ll then communicate your findings to your company and its clients. Part of your job will also include looking for ways to improve the design and function of aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microbiologist <\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in a more scientific field, microbiology might be a good fit for you. This role is very hands-on, and has the potential to make a big difference far beyond your company\u2019s walls. As a microbiologist, you\u2019ll study viruses and bacteria to determine how they might play a role in reducing pollution or minimizing the use of fossil fuels by creating the biofuels of the future.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chemical engineer<\/b><\/p>\n

As a chemical engineer, you\u2019ll focus specifically on the production processes of a company and the chemicals involved in those processes. It will be your job to find ways to replace existing production methods with renewable resources that are kinder to the environment. For example, you might research and test biodegradable chemicals that are less likely to cause pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compliance officer <\/b><\/p>\n

As a compliance officer, you\u2019ll work to ensure your company is complying with health, safety and environmental laws and regulations. In this job, you could work on reports about your sustainability findings or present recommendations that will help your company achieve (or even exceed) certain regulation standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human resources specialist <\/b><\/p>\n

As a human resources specialist focusing on sustainability, you\u2019ll be responsible for ensuring that employees understand and comply with different sustainability efforts set up by your company. In this role, you might also help with preparing and conducting training programs for new employees to educate them on what corporate sustainability means and how to achieve it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Occupational health and safety technician<\/b><\/p>\n

In this role, you\u2019ll assist with projects that improve the safety of workers, company buildings and the health and safety impact your company has on the general public. This might take the form of helping design a safer workplace environment, performing inspections or monitoring the quality of air in your office building to ensure there are no toxins.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a sustainability studies major, you have a wide range of career paths to choose from. To ensure that you pick <\/span>a position<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s right for you, it\u2019s important to figure out where your interests lie and to pursue a role that you\u2019re passionate about. Whether that ends up being a molecular biologist or a compliance officer, the skills you\u2019ve developed in school and during any internships will definitely help you shine.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
