When asked how she would counsel younger professionals seeking “green jobs”, her advice is to get the broadest and deepest possible preparation without taking on crippling debt. Especially students need to learn about and be open to working in different kinds of organizations. She urges newcomers to consider fields that may be temporarily less popular, but which require one to use both sides of the brain, such as urban planning and industrial engineering.
