I am an Environmental Science major and I have always had internships for these big entities:
USDA, General Electric and now a National Laboratory (as the saying is here: this is where the govt. does it's science). The first summer i taught, next I worked in Env Health & Safety and now I work as an env chemist in a laboratory. These people make a lot of money but right now I don't like any of the jobs I have had except for the first. When working for the USDA I taught Environmental Education in inner city parks in Atlanta. I loved it. I am trying to figure out now what I wanna do with my degree. I am not even concerned about the money. I think that I was born to teach and help children but with my major I don't quite know how to make the switch. Although I have the opportunity to work for corporate America I think I want to trade it all in and be a science teacher. I would rather do something I love for the rest of my life and make not as much money than do something I don't enjoy and be wealthy and unhappy.

i feel you...regardless of what it is...you should always follow your heart and work in a field you enjoy first...and that will pay the bills second...not everyone is able to do that...but it is a good feeling to be able to do what you enjoy and get paid for it...
