Hello all, I have not been active on this blog for awhile now and I will no longer going to be active on this blog until further notice. I will be posting on @samediseaseasthetrees from now on. I’m no longer in school therefore no need for a studying blog.

I used this blog to help with my motivation in college (university) and do not plan on posting studyblr content anymore unless I go to grad school in future (not anytime soon).

Feel free to ask me questions about my day to day life on @samediseaseasthetrees

I’m working full time now in the environmental field but I will be posting nature and cottage core stuff on my other blog. Thank you 💚

Hi! I’m somewhat interested in environmental sciences. I have a degree in nursing but I have this curiosity, this little voice in my head saying “nursing is not for you”. I am interested in the environmental field but I’m not sure if it’s a secure income. What’s your opinion?

Hi <3 Thank you for your ask! Glad to hear you’re interested in environmental sciences. Someone close to me is a nurse so I discussed this ask with them to ask for their point of view from the nursing side. They said looking for a job with a nursing degree isn’t hard but is secure income. They said they do not make salary income, though.

Based on what I know, many environmental based jobs are salaried unless it’s something like a temporary or internship type position. I don’t have experience with a career type job, I’ve only just begun to start looking for jobs because I’m graduating in a few months.

I think that compared to nursing, it may be a little bit more difficult to find a job. Because with nursing, I *think* you may have the skills already from the degree, or know everything or most of what you should know to do the job. What I’ve heard from many professors in my school is that most environmental science based jobs, the work that you will be doing will mostly be learned on the job. Having background knowledge about stuff will help, though. I think jobs related to environmental sciences usually want to see that you have a bachelors degree in a related field, plus they want to see that you have experience/know how to use programs such as R, Excel, or GIS.

That being said, once you actually have a job in the field, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be secure income. Environmental science is a growing field due to climate change so it’s likely that organizations will get more funding to be able to support more employers.

In conclusion, I think environmental science jobs are probably just as secure income as a nursing job, but it may be a little more difficult to find a job at the start. Hope this helps!

(FYI - I am getting a B.S. Environmental Science which means that I have taken General Biology and General Chemistry + labs, which is something you may have already taken if you have a nursing degree, so if you do plan to pursue a bachelors of science in environmental science you might not have to repeat those classes)

an all time fav, P & P OST

breakfast jazz, lovely for mornings

the rogue one soundtrack

black sails ost, by now you might be noticing a pirate theme

kind of intense and emotional but music from medici

school is kicking my rear end as of late. or maybe it’s just the mental illness. with a combination of school. things are picking up and my motivation is at a 1/10. i have this engaged learning project to do for my solutions to environmental problems class and it’s not going well. we haven’t decided where we’re going with it and it’s making me really stressed. i wanted this weekend to be stress free but it looks like i need to get a lot done. on top of all this i need to start applying for jobs soon.

designing my own planner for this semester helps me stay motivated. the first two weeks are online and it’s been difficult to pay attention during zoom meetings
