Environmental Forensics (Potential Future Job )

[FayetheAspie]

There is a laboratory that I think I would like to get on at after I finish my training. They analyze water and soil samples and fish tissue biota samples for environmental forensics purposes. I think it sounds interesting. Does anyone have experience at this? I should add that they occasionally have job postings for technicians that don't require a degree.

I'm sorry no one had any answers for you here. I know nothing about it but it sounds interesting, I was raised as a bush baby with a strong connection to the land.

Thanks.

Perhaps right now isn't an optimal time to be considering such things for two reasons.

1) Wait until you've successfully passed the program and have the certification you need before considering who may actually hire you. Having the right education/training is good, but never a guarantee in any job market.

2) In the immediate political future environmental jobs may not be as easy to find. PM me if you do not understand.

When I in college, I just signed up for the program, did not have any clue where it would lead, Really enjoyed the various courses and then graduated, Went home to my parents place helped around the hardware store they owned
First job offer was on a coil coating line Looked through my lab book, found one silly experiment that would remotely fit what I would be doing. First day on job ,saw book on industrial colour control took book home read it realized this is neat turned into a career.
