3.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK- IF YOU ARE A SCIENTIST, July 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Careers in the Environment (VGM Professional Careers Series) (Hardcover)

This book should be called "College majors in the environment". I am a college graduate with a social sciences degree, and the book was not of any help to me. It does not cover the job search, and gives only a few, obvious contacts (such as the EPA). Each chapter is written for a specific degree, and what can be done with that degree, all of which are life or physical sciences. Im sure the book is very helpful if you have a degree in biology, forestry, chemistry, meteorology, etc. But for those of us with less scientifically specific degrees, this book is not too helpful unless you are willing to go back to school for four more years after reading it.
