Abstract Details

2009, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
The environmental job market is a dynamic and rapidly changing place. Different opportunities are appearing every day and individuals often have the choice to work in a variety of different work environments. This paper considers two broad sectors of the environmental job market and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of working in each based on real-world work experiences. Two six-month internships were undertaken with the goal of evaluating and comparing the work environment of public (i.e. government) environmental employment with private (i.e. consulting) environmental employment. The first experience was at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Resource Assessment Service, Tidewater Ecosystem Assessment division, in Annapolis, MD from August, 2007 until February, 2008. The second experience was with Ecology and Environment, Inc., an environmental consulting firm in Lancaster, NY, from March, 2008 until August, 2008.
