Job Outlook
Though the outlook of each career path will vary, on the whole, sustainability careers are growing rapidly. Sustainability is a burgeoning industry that is growing as technology advances and the world's usual natural resources become more and more scarce. Green jobs and careers in sustainability are also beginning to replace jobs that once existed in now-dead industries, resulting in a rapid growth rate. Source: EnvironmentalScience.org
