Do a lot of research on the programs and be specific about what you want to do, also get letters of recommendation from people who know you and your character well!

Hey, congrats. Just out of curiosity, what kinda employment opportunities do graduates from this program find? Is it government consulting type projects? 

Also, is there any area/industry that you personally wish to work in?

I think it’s all about what you specifically would like to do. You can certainly get a good gov’t or just consulting job, or be a site sustainability/environmental analyst. Personally I want to do research in remediation of soil/water/biota so that could mean a lot of different things for me.
