From a Reader: Best Climate Change Jobs
Hey Craig, I’m Patrick from TalentDesk, a job search company. Just reaching out to you to let you know about a helpful guide on climate change jobs that we just published. I thought that since your audience is interested in environmental issues they might be interested in seeing what kind of careers are available in the field.
The Best Climate Change Jobs breaks down popular jobs in activism and community service by average salary, required degree, and annual growth. We based our list on job postings from sites like Idealist and Work For Good and used Bureau of Labor Statistics data to determine our data points. We then broke down the jobs into different categories, including office jobs, field jobs, and jobs that don’t require a degree.
I was wondering what you thought of the list, and whether our best climate change jobs would be a helpful resource to share with your readers?
Best,
Patrick

Craig,
You do realize all these highly paid jobs are mostly completely non-productive don’t you ?
These highly educated people don’t actually produce any goods or services, and yet a huge industry has grown up around these activities all paid for by either consumers or taxpayers.
While other nations are busy producing real products generating actual wealth, we’re perpetrating an illusion of economic activity.
Any publicly funded organization will always self perpetrate by inventing itself work. ” Climate Change Analysts have a reported growth rate of 12% “. It’s in the interests of such people to produce research confirming the reason for their existence.
All these graduates must have facilities from which to work, administration is required, logistics, forward planning, employment agencies, computers, the list goes on and on, … but no one actually asked what is the value of all this activity ?
Worse still, no one seems to ask, who pays for all these people ?
These are some nice jobs! you would think that some of these would have a lot more growth than they do, especially environmental economist!
