Among the 'Top 10' careers lists published today, those that are involved in environmentally friendly technology and resources, especially the Environmental Engineer Career field, are of great interest.
Some of the areas of expertise that an Environmental Engineer would work in are as follows:
· Waste management systems: Sewage, garbage, etc.
· Air pollution: Air quality monitoring systems, including methods and data analysis
· Recycling systems: Methods of recycling, materials separation, handling, recycled products systems
· Toxic waste: Special systems for dealing with chemical, biological, and other hazards
· Industrial systems: Production, energy efficiency, emissions management, product waste issues
· Environmental safety: The reduction and prevention of hazards in an environmental system
· Oil spills: Recovery, damage control, spill monitoring
· Wildlife protection: Creation of wildlife corridors, with things like road tunnels for wildlife
· Carbon footprint issues: Broad based analysis and design of systems for identifying and minimizing carbon productions by human activity. 
· Alternative energy systems: Wind, wave, hydro-electrical, solar, biological and geothermal energy sources.
· Agricultural engineering, a discipline applying science and technology to the processing and production in agriculture.
· Biology, the study of living organisms.
· Chemistry, the study of the properties of matter and their changes under chemical reactions. Process engineering involves this study also.
· Ecology, the study of abundance and distribution of different organisms as well as their interaction with their own environment.
· Public Health, the science and art of taking care of society through preventing diseases, promoting health, and prolonging life.

Environmental engineering is another high-growth field. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 25 percent increase in that field by 2016, raising the number of environmental engineers in the nation from 51,000 to 68,000. The projected growth may be linked in part to major energy companies' shift toward greener, renewable-energy solutions, a move that will require environmental engineers to help them make the transition.
The Salaries range from $50,000 a year for a college graduates to the $100k a year range for those with more experience.
Some websites, such as www.EnvironmentalEngineerJobSearchSource.com cover a lot of details about the industry trends, have a graphs and projections as well as career resources to aid you in your Environmental Engineering Career Search.
Many Universities and heavily promoting the their Environmental Engineering programs and have a lot of information to offer the prospective student who has an undergraduate degree and is interested in pursuing an Environmental Engineering specialization.
So with the above facts being said, it is pretty clear that the career field for Environmental Engineering is growing and rapidly into the future.
