Do you knew companies that employ environmentalists with first degree?

I once had a chat wth someone who had worked in an environmental consultant firm. and she tld me dat ideally companies are supposed to employ an environmentalist which is even economical but they prefer using environmental consultancy firms paying them millions for their env audit etc. which an graduate environmentalist can still do if guided materials for write ups are given. and so dos env consultancy firms employ graduates to work for them and pay them peanuts. but they have no choice and so they av to stick to dos consultancy firms working for them for years.
its just dat nigerian environmental policies are so week even fepa,nesrea &nosdra are not trying in dat aspect probably dos environmental consultancy firms offer them bribe and so they keep mute on salient issues. May God help us.

Hmmm

Sorry, I saw this late that is the more reason why you should quote any moniker you are asking question on this forum. On your question, I don't know where you will get the textbooks in Lagos, but go to University of Lagos Bookshops or any Engineering Bookshops. You will definetly see them. I bought mine here in Port Harcourt at a certian Bookshop in Choba campus of University of Port Harcourt.

Please, Where is your attachment? Please go to a place that is related to your course of study. On M.Sc, when you are through with your first degree, you can then decide if you are furthering.

Well done bros, please I studied Industrial Safety and environmental Technology in my ND and industrial safety technology in my HND, both istinctions. Can I av my masters in envirinmental engineering under chemical engineering department? And what would you advise me to study in my PGD? Please help a nigga

Environmental engineering is a major in civil engineering department. It is a very interesting course. The major problem is that it has not been properly integrated into the scheme of service in government. It's definition in the scheme of service is ambiguous. It is regarded as sewerage engineering and civil engineers are made to take up up their job. For the guy who study safety technology, I doubt if you will be able to study environmental engineering. In as much as safety is closely related to environmental engineering, the course is more of civil engineering courses which you may not have done. Unless you will have to do top up in certain core areas if the University will allow that.

good evening, am a graduate of environmental biology

good evening, am a graduate of environmental biology.... Rivers State University of Science and Technology (Rsust)

Good morning, I will like to correct some impressions here. Every body can lay claim to being an environmentalist. This is because environmental science is a broad discipline and nobody is a professional in every facets of it, this is why having an Msc is necessary if you really want to succeed in this area.The knowledge you think you have in your first degree are mostly general introduction to environmental issues, Msc gives you a direction and makes you a specialist in defined and specific areas eg pollution control, geo environmental science, flood and erosion control, disaster management, Risk, environmental monitoring, environmental audit, GIS, Safety Environment and Health and even public health. Companies rarely need an environmental officer, but they do need an HSE officer, Compliance Officer, Risk officer, fire officer, GIS Expert, Sanitation manager, unsafe act/condition auditing expert.Going for certifications is also not a bad idea. On a personal note I do believe degrees are overrated in this country (I do have an Msc though), this is because nowadays employers place more interest on competence than papers. I hope this helps.
Thanks.
