Congratulations recent grads! You've just gotten your undergraduate degree or an MBA and you love the idea of scoring a job that helps you contribute to a better environment... but you want to make a buck too. Understood.
Good news: the triple bottom line of planet, profit and people is alive and well as seen in companies like Patagonia and Burt's Bees. With almost half of the S&P 100 delivering a corporate social report (CSR) in 2006, environmental goals are clearly paramount in today's corporate environment.
What do you need to break-through? Joel Makower, Executive Editor of GreenBiz.com offers some great advice in a recent article on green jobs. He recommends getting the conventional business skills down, and then layering your passion for green over it. Learn finance, operations, product design, sales, marketing or whatever you are interested in; once you master your chosen professional skills, look for your dream green job using GreenBiz.com's newly revamped jobs center.
