I'm wanting to study something which will lead me to a fulfilling job which has something to do with protecting the environment. I have an arts degree, and I can do a postgraduate degree to become an environmental planner, and I know there are many jobs available. I am wondering - is it a fulfilling job for those that want to see the environment protected?? I am concerned about population growth in my area, whcih is booming.

Okay, so - my main goal is to do something to help the world/people/animals (like many people!) I considered becoming a doctor, but I am not sure that's for me. (Making decisions is not my strong point!) So, I have considered an environmental sciences major. Would this be practical? Would environmental engineering be better? ANY suggestions? I am interested in stuff like the Peace Corps. The only problem with engineering is I don't really care how things work... I want to go out and make a difference.

My spouse is about to be a Traveling Occupational Therapist. This means we will be moved every six months to different states. We have the option of staying in one place for longer than that, but we would make more money moving every six months. I have a BS in Marine Science and i am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, but its going to be hard to get a job every six months for me. Does anyone know of a job or organization that would move me every six months also? THANKS SO MUCH!
