Theresa Said:

What sort of academic/practical qualifications are recommended for a career in environmental work?

We Answered:

Two possibilities.

Get some kind of credential in science or engineering. Environmental science, environmental engineering or chemistry would be my three top choices. Biology or chemical engineering are also possibilities.

Or go to work for an environmental agency using your business degree. The USEPA hires people with those credentials to analyze the economics of environmental programs. Then work to transition over to the technical side.

Marion Said:

Military/law enforcement and school?

We Answered:

the service will allow you to take school and right now its 100% reimbursement (not even using the GI Bill!) i did six years in the marine corps and now am law enforcement for a civilian dept. i will say if being a police officer is a dream of yours, having been in the military puts you a head of so many applicants.

Question: would u be going into the service as a photographer or as an MP?

Rene Said:

Taking distance learning IT classes....would you recommend it?

We Answered:

The University of Maryland is accredited (and highly regarded), so yes, you should be fine with an online degree from there. It's the non-accredited schools you have to watch out for. If you're earning your degree from an accredited school, then you're earning a legit degree. You shouldn't necessarily even need to put on your resume that you earned it online...
