Green Careers

Do you happen to be a helpless greenomantic at heart?
Or are you the kind whose biggest contribution towards the environment is chanting "Keep my Delhi Green and Clean" while throwing that teeny bubble gum wrapper in the overloaded bin and ignoring the rubbish strewn all around?
Or maybe the sort who actually wants to do something spectacular but just does not know where to get started?
Well, then, maybe I have got some news for you.
Its time for you to quit being oh-so-brilliantly clueless.
Join the Green Brigade!

There are truckloads of Green jobs out there waiting for you to explore. You can either be a Wildlife Filmmaker or an ardent Environmental Lawyer. Maybe an Organic Farmer or an Environmental Journalist.
Take your pick!

Already heard of these but looking for something to do with your hobbies?
If you love cooking why not try out your hand at being a Green Chef? You get to transform your restaurants or hotels into showplaces for environmental sustainability. You solar power your eating joints, use ‘reusable’ delivery boxes and avoid chemical cleaning products. In addition, you get to cook food using locally available ingredients, organic items and/or non-threatened species.

Have bagfuls of passion and fierce interest in wildlife?
Try your hand at becoming a true 'Wildlifer'.
The options include being a wildlife biologist (who studies wildlife biology as a subject), wild doctor or vet, wild artist, and wild activist (who fights for the cause of protecting wildlife).

So you are a thinker and a voracious reader with a curious mind. You tend to be a bit stubborn and independent ideas attract you. Though a not a party animal, your reflective self still likes interacting with people of all kinds, then your Great Green Career could include becoming an Eco-Historian, an Academic, an Author, an Eco-Journalist and what not!

If you like creating objects out of waste, tinkering with gadgets at home and have a strong bend towards Mathematics, Geometry, Physics and Chemistry then maybe your calling is of an Eco-Engineer. If you happen to have a genuine concern for the way humans and their technologies have degraded the ecology drives and you to seek innovative solutions then an Earth Architect is what you should be.

By the way, just for your information, you do not necessarily need that Science degree to be a Green Worker. Nor do you have to be an Environment Fanatic to grow in this field. (Pun Intended!)
So go ahead and let your actions match your passion!
