Many people (young, not so young and the even less young) are keen to do something about environmental issues. Some choose to protest, glue themselves to the road. If that's not for you (I'm not a protester but happy to acknowledge that peaceful protest has often brought much needed change in society) there other paths open to you. Like, becoming a professional in waste remediation. Or, if you already work in the oil industry and want to shift your focus from drilling to environmental work, there's options as well. For you young folks out there start with an educational foundation in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, or a related field. An undergraduate focus on ecology, hydrology, and pollution management, paired with internships in environmental cleanup, provides a good base. For those aiming higher, a Master's or PhD with research in oil pollution or bioremediation can further help you in your career. You could get certified. There are training and certifications in risk assessment or waste management. Start your career with positions at environmental consulting firms, governmental bodies, or oil companies with robust environmental divisions. Don't forget to attend workshops and seminars to meet people and stay updated on new remediation techniques. Lastly, network and specialise. Join a professional organisation, and consider choosing an area of specialisation like bioremediation, physical remediation, or chemical methods. Specialise in a particular problem. This could be remediation of oil waste pits (yours truly), PFAS contamination, plastics removal, solar panel recycling or rubber tyres recycling (even electric cars use tyres...). There's no shortage of environmental problems to solve. You won't go without a job. As you grow, take on roles in project management, R&D, or policy-making. A career in oil waste remediation is not just fulfilling. It is an opportunity to be constructive and to proactively be part of creating a healthier planet and environment. #OilWasteRemediation #EnvironmentalScience #CareerPath #Environment
