From Renewable Energy World.
The greatest number of jobs posted require engineering, but the science and business management numbers are almost equally high.
Good news for our Sustainable Energy program graduates.
We decided several years ago that we probably couldn't cover enough engineering to offer a purely technical approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency here at Unity College.
But, with our large investment in young, innovative PhD scientists, our policy-and-economics strength, and of course our superb living-learning laboratory of a sustainable campus, we remain very competitive, and our graduates are looking at good job options or grad school options.
They will still have to study very hard, though. It's a competitive world out there.
And most of these jobs will require experience and graduate school. Students who sign up should be prepared for that.
The days that some guy at a party could give Justin Hoffman's The Graduate that one word-advice snippet, "plastics," and actually expect that all that would be needed to secure a management-level position was that bachelor's degree, well, those days are long gone.
It's hard for me to imagine any student having a truly successful career in energy management these days without some graduate school.
