If you think it is not easy being green, then think again. At least when you are green, you are identifiable. It may be true that you do not have much experience, but at least a certain set of your skills are fresh and someone, somewhere, either through internships or other, will take you aboard.
In my self-pitying case, having a background which is not so clearly cut, in applied sciences, then later in the humanities, but little experience in either, selling myself has not been that straight forward. A friend just recently told me that she thought that I have given up. In someways, there is little reason to believe that a job, a form of voluntary submission in the name of revenue, should justify one's existence.
Where should I go from here. Although I do appreciate the tools, gadgets or other products that make our lives enjoyable, I am well aware of how many of them fail to address more pressing issues. For example you may have heard about the Smart Watch Pebble project on Kickstarter which sounds like a good project, but everyone know the minute hand old style watch will outlive any technology that depends on another to function.
Regarding projects that need funding, geoengineering is not moving along as well as it could given a lack of funding. Some projects to reduce the greenhouse effect by increasing the cloud cover with white clouds through increased sea water in the air which would create white clouds, would require about 2 million dollars, but funding is not quite sufficient.
In thinking of offering my services to a company or another, I have to be realistic on what are the expectations. Designing a slurry pump system, or an enclosure for an electrical system does not have nowhere the same challenges as designing a research plan or a questionnaire where the variables do not conform to the expectations of a scientific model.
Although none of us a half-this of half-that, some have taken on streamlined career paths, which make it easier getting employment.
