Silly mistake of the day: responded to the wrong email thread and accidentally cancelled an order with a new supplier at the last minute. Let’s hope they are gracious on this one.
cyphersyeah i’m getting consultant vibes not wallstreet
energy economist/consultant. If i go to Darty i think I’ll do econ with a minor in environmental policy or studies and then concentrate the econ in energy econ. Huge market for clean energy and also solving energy/water crisis. plus they have tons of sweet econ electives thru tuck and hands on programs like the energy justice clinic

Do you just wake up every morning and slap together degrees and decide that you'll make a shitload doing it?
I swear I've seen you change your degree at least 10 times and every time you are somehow convinced you'll make way more money than you actually will lmao

It is Wow Wednesday...Changing degrees, schools and Land Rovers to Toyotas
An engineering degree will be much more valuable if that's what you want to do. Environmental, Civil, or Industrial would work well in that path.
Econ majors are a dime a dozen. It's much easier to teach an engineer the economics than to teach an economist how real-life projects work

i’ve been pretty set on econ with some sort of major or minor. i’m not cut out for med school/pre med tbh. I don’t wanna do finance as much because of the numbers etc. Plus econ would allow me to work a while and if i hate it become a teacher or get a phd and become a professor like my great great grandfather and great grandfathers and they had pretty sweet life’s. It’d also allow me to lobby with the environmental studies or policy side depending on where i end up

I wouldn’t worry about what you’ll do so much yet. By all means, study something that is worthwhile to society so that you get a job out of it, but when you’re just starting undergrad start with something you are genuinely curious about and go from there. Odds are you’ll change your major before you finish your second year, and that’s okay. Calling/purpose/vocation is a hard thing to find and most people go through different ones. You’re young, go try things out and see where you land.

100% what rookie said. Also, stop worrying about being loaded all the time. Obviously don't go to college for art studies or something........ I am just saying that I know a lot more middle class people who followed something they were genuinely interested in and are genuinely happy in life, than I know rich people who are happy they followed the money.

Yeah, doing something I believe in is worth a lot of salary. (Being able to buy a house someday would be nice though) The wealthiest person I know does not care to ever talk about work because he truly does not care. He just gives a ton of his money to organizations he does have a passion for and he gets genuinely excited talking about his charitable work. I guess that works but point is everyone finds something to be excited about, may as well be what you do or else you’ll just spend money finding it elsewhere.

yea but im actually interested in making greener industry and markets? the only way these things change at a systemic level is if congressional members stop being funded or their shares stop making profits. that’s what id like to do. Dartmouth and SLU have amazing fellowship and volunteer opportunities doing things like this. Mostly consulting local and regional municipalities/providers about energy or water issues and the money behind it. Some of these programs even help secure charitable funding or government grants for these things. Both schools offer amazing electives concentrated in how the economy effects the environment and vice versa.
The one big issue with lower level environmental degrees (environmental studies/ science) is the incredibly small number of jobs. My older sister dual majored in sociology and environmental studies and could not get a job pertaining to her degree. The few that popped up had a very large number of applicants. Most of these projects and efforts you're seeing are headed by engineers and environmental lawyers.

I just got into a summer program thingie. I'm going there for ecology. engineering was my top choice but I guess that's probably pretty popular. anyways with talk of jobs n stuff is ecology any good? I will see over the summer if it piques my interest, could be captivating (I didn't want to use interest twice in the same sentence) to me with skiing and all.
BradFiAusNzCoCaIt is a grind out there right now but just like that - two job offers happened at once.
One clear winner with compensation I wanted and I’m pretty stoked about it. Just gotta keep at it in this market. It truly is “at bats”, so to speak.
Can kind-of resonate with this but on a dirtbags level so to speak. I have employment for shoulder season and the summer/fall but my Patrol Director offered employment in shoulder season helping out other departments until Bike Season starts for Bike Patrol and hella work projects for next season. I wanna swing both. I kind of dont mind working 60+ hours a week if its outside here, cuz its soooo fuckin pretty in Grand County/Grand Lake.

A lot of ecology stuff is going to be government work. Has it's pros and it's cons. Consistent pay increases, potentially interesting work depending on where you are based out of, once you move past being a tech you more or less get to decide what you do to a degree...but most work is going to be under the USDA or state DNR's.
I'd say if you like being outdoors and don't mind bureaucracy all that much (which doesn't really matter because believe me that bureaucracy exists in a similar but different form in the private world) it can be a good gig. Pay is never going to be great until like 20 years into your career but if you like it it's a solid choice.
Having an understanding of how the natural world around you works changes how you see things and is super cool. Forestry, ecology, enviromental engineering are all cool in that aspect.

It's very cool to go out and make a prelim plan, go out and hike in the woods, collect your own data, run some stats, do some math and then come up with cool prescriptions or treatments that you actually get to see take effect.
But if you don't like math, don't think you are going to avoid it in that area. It's pretty much field work, biology, and math. Way more math than you would expect. Less than a rocket scientist but way more math than you would expect so be ready for that if it's a degree/career path you are interested in.
Went on a first date tonight and it felt really good, which is something that hasn’t happened in a really long time. Already making plans to go skiing or some other adventure this weekend.
Bruh my neighbor got a new boyfriend and like once a week they’ll have super loud sex, our walls are mad thin too.
Problem is when it wakes me up I watch tv, and since our walls are so thin it means WE’RE watching TV.
Last time we watched a 2 hour YouTube documentary on the city of Carthage, I’m watching a 70’s B sci-fi movie rn- got a 29% on rotten tomatoes, fuck it tho.
it’s mad petty Ik, but if I’m not sleeping none of us are, sorry.
I’m sitting in my car in a parking ramp, a lady goes to get into the car on my left and slams her door into my car, I stare at her in disappointment. while I’m doing that, a lady in open the door to the car on my right and slams her door into my mirror. We need an all male parking ramp

See, the trick is to own a car where the layers of paint are pealing like an archeological dig site so it doesn’t matter what happens.
