Dec 2012

I got my HAZWOPER 40 cert a couple of months ago and am finishing up my last class in Physics while working at a local title company (my former career). But the field seems pretty wide open (my specific field is Environmental Health Science, Planning and Management) especially for compliance and mitigation.

I graduated (walked - can do that at my univ if you have less than 6 hours) with two other people and they've both found jobs in the field - one at a water consulting firm which inspects municipal water facilities, etc., and another at a national consulting firm. Both jobs in Arkansas and I can tell you that those kind of jobs are not plentiful. I have high hopes - especially because I'm willing to relocate pretty much anywhere.
