Green Jobs

I came across this article about the fastest growing (salary-wise, at least) jobs that pertain to sustainability. Many of these are kind of obvious.. You have your run of mill environmental engineer jobs and environmental scientist jobs, but the interesting thing was some of the more mainstream jobs that, if you think about it, really do have the potential to improve overall sustainability.

Construction managers, for example, have alot of say as far as when, where, and how to use better and more environmentally friendly materials and practices in their construction projects.

Some of the even less obvious ones include plumbers, pipe fitters, carpenters, and electricians. Just goes to show that no matter what you do, odds are you have a chance of helping the planet while you do your job.
