Can you get work combining environmental studies and engineering to work in environmental solutions?
There is plenty of work in the environmental field. From environmental scientists to environmental engineers, many people make a decent living in the arenas of environmental consulting (soft engineering) to R&D for firms that develop technologies to clean and remediate spills and releases. Air Permitting, EPA compliance, Groundwater remediation, assessments, etc… are many activities that you can submerge yourself into. Once you decide on the area of work, then try to find a job in that field. If you are smart and can conduct Research, try to get on at a university and conduct research. Good Luck. The bottom line: There is an abundance of opportunity. You should not have to go back to re-educate, unless you want to.
