I'm currently trying to get my BS in environmental science at a state university. Do you have any recommended tips for my next steps after I finish my degree?

I'm thinking I'd like to work for the EPA and/or USDA.

Firstly, thank you for doing this. We always need more scientists doing AMAs

Can you expand a little more on your schooling and the path/challenges you took to get here? I took some introductory chemistry, and bio chemistry. I'm going into Enviro-Science/Biology but would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you. I think you summarized the challenges quite well.

I'm not sure if this is indictive, but I think in my organic chemistry class, there were an equal amount of those who identified as girls compared to boys. Granted, I think a lot of them went into pre-med or nursing (which I'm not saying is bad/wrong). But I don't think it has as strong as focus on problem solving than hard science does.

So, I want to say there is hope.
