  Working for an Environmental Organization

  I currently work for a great Environmental Organization. I had been out of work for a while dealing with some medical issues, and, to ease myself back into the workforce, I started volunteering with three different environmental organizations who were close enough to where I lived, and had a fairly large scope. I was doing what I had a knack for, and was feeling very appreciated. Then I actually was offered a job, with pay, with two of the organizations. I eventually took the job with shortest commute. I started out volunteering, doing what I like doing, so once they started paying me, well, this is the happiest I've ever been at any job in my life. And most of the people working for environmental organizations are there because they want to be doing what they're doing. They are not there just to earn a paycheck. We all care about each other as human beings, so there isn't the back-stabbing crap that I've seen with other jobs.
  If you're not sure what you want to do, volunteer with a couple of organizations, find out what they do, what you can do for them, and if it's a good match, you'll wind up with a job you love.On Umbra on finding the right green job posted 4 years, 5 months ago 7 Responses
