preparation for a career in green energy?
i am a student studying law and business (finance) who would like to work in green energy and other areas involved with renewable energy and sustainability. can anyone think of any jobs that i could get involved in within the green energy industry that have a finance focus. i was thinking something along the lines of venture capital, advisory, and consulting. can anyone provide me with a rough career guideline on how to get into this sort of work.
I don’t see that your selected majors would be of any particular benefit to “green companies” any more than to any other company – finance majors don’t usually get jobs in companies of smaller than $100mill/yr in sales – my company is in the construction related field and we do $70-80mill a yr and have no need for a finance or law person – I’m the Controller and myself and the CFO handle all the data analysis
no one becomes a consultant in any field without a lot of years of work experience in that field – how can you advise anyone on anything if you haven’t done it a 100 or 100 times already?
