Where should i start? (career in environmental conservation.)?
My name is Kim 18 years old,form Malaysia. I just graduated from my High school last year(2007). I really interested in activities like saving the mother nature, saving animals and also activities about recycle , but i don't know where should i start? What should i study ? And where should i go? Do i have to be a science stream student?(because i am not) What qualification do i need ? is there any courses? i just wanted to know what is the name of this kind of job, i know this field is big, but i have no idea where should i start in order to make myself involve or work in some association like WWF(World Wildlife Fund).I really hope i can work in this association. I really hope that i can go for courses about conservation on animals and so on. I wish to work in this association , not just because of my interested in mother nature..i really treat this as my career. If i study Nursing , can i get in this field?...will nursing help? Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience and Thank you very much in Advance^^ Looking forward to your reply..^^ I had mail to WWF, and they told me that i can start by volunteer ...but i have no idea what r we gonna do.

There's all kinds of jobs in the field. Administrative jobs would require a degree in business administration, accounting or some such, as well as some knowledge of the field. If you don't want to be a scientist, than you can teach, which will require a lot of work in itself, of course. Personally, being a scientist is the best of these jobs. I've been there. A degree in biology, with a focus on ecology is a great way to get started. If you want to learn more without comitting yourself to a particular career, look for local educational courses in your area, as well as any scientific organizations that may have field stations somewhere in your region. WWF isn't the only environmental organization in Malasia. The Smithsonian Institute also operates there. Check it out online.

Volunteer as much as you can in a different range of fields to give you some experience. I started out volunteering for one summer and it was the best time of my life. Read a lot, explore the outdoors, and make every effort that you can to et into a college, university, or other post-secondary school that provides courses and degrees in the natural sciences. Join professional societies and nonprofit organizations related to what you are interested in and get connected to many people already working in fields that interest you.

Volunteering with different organizations is a good way to start. You can be involved in environmental protection without necessarily taking a lot of science courses by focusing on environmental policy and environmental law. Good communication skills are crucial. Classes to consider taking include biology, ecology, environmental science, environmental policy, technical writing, natural resources, range management etc. Good luck!

Hi, Study contruction or test products that actually save energy. Stay away from gov't regulation. The best indicator of efficiency is cost.

Hello Kim, I was just reading an interesting book a few hours ago that has a few types of jobs you may be interested in. The book is "How'd You Score That Gig?" by Alexandra Levit. The jobs were: 1. Conservationists are in charge of protecting, managing, and restoring a country's natural resources. They may hold a minimum of bachelor's degree in agriculture, biology, ecology, etc. You can also check in the "Occupational Outlook Handbook", if it is available where you live for more specific types of conservationists. Websites: www.conservation.org, www.thesca.org, www.wilderness.org. 2. Oceanographers try to understand the ocean systems and how they relate to other areas in the world and the results of human interference on the oceanic environment. Bachelor's not required but very helpful. Websites: www.eco.org, www.seagrant.noaa.org, www.onr.navy.mil. 3. "Environmental Engineers protect public health and safety and ensure nature's ecology are not adversely affected." Usually requires bachelor's degree. Websites: www.nspe.org, www.aaee.net, www.ncees.org. I hope these tips helped.

When/while you're doing your WWF volunteering, pay attention to the types of positions the entire organization has. Also, keep an eye on any type of job board or possitions offered. I will bet that somewhere in that organization they even have some medical people. In general, the more education you can get, the more of a "career" you will have. The higher up the organization you can get, the more decision power you will have. Chances are, the more decision power you have, the more satisfied you will feel with your efforts. Also, in general you trade education/ or lack there of, for labor in an organization. If you do not have education based skills to bring to the team, you often end up bringing phyisical labor skills to the team. When you are 18, young, and in reasonable physical shape you tend to bring more physical labor skills to the team and it is a possible thing. But, typically when you age you lose your physical labor capabilities and must rely upon your experience based skills and/or your knowledge. This is an important consideration if you want to remain active with any organization for a life time. While you are doing your volunteering, do keep an eye open on growth opportunities at WWF in general, and locally. Is there opportunity to get a paying, entry level position; if so, what types and what skills/knowlege do they require? If you come into an entry level position are there internal learning opportunities and, is it something that will allow you to pursue formal education outside the organization? Even if you do get a degree or more, are there positions within the organization that you simply can't break through? For example, in many organizations few if any janitors can get a more advanced position despite the number of degrees that the organization paid tution for. For example, I knew a woman who got a lower grade manufacturing position at a company. That same company paid out of their training funds for the completion of her 4 year degree, two masters degrees, and over half of her doctoriate. After she got her 4 year degree, she started applying for salaried positions within the same company and had troubles even getting a first interview. She decided to get her doctorate when she was offered a salaried position at a lower wage than what she was getting in her lower level factory position. She was barred from speaking to the college recruiters from this same company because she already worked for the company. Although the company had paid for the completion of three degrees and over half of her fourth degree, she made the decision to go elsewhere after she got her doctorate just to get a decent job with respect to her education. Meanwhile, treat your volunteering position as an entry level job in your career field This means exploring your options. It means working towards getting as much knowledge and as many skills as you can. It means that you dig out a resume form and start writing a resume capitulating your volunteer experiences in terms of sellable knowledge and skills. This will help keep you on track, help you get a paying job in the field, and very likely help you if you decide to further your formal education.

My mom's family
My mom's family...?
My mom just found out that my grandpa has Alzheimer's disease. My uncle has known for 6 months, yet didn't tell anyone and let my grandparents go back to malaysia from Oregon. My grandparents have 5 kids. Not one of those 5 kids except for my mom has showed interest in taking care of them, but we are moving so it would be almost impossible.. My mother nad sister are the only ones who care. They have a bad relationship with the other brother and sister, and one of the brother's has lost contact with the family. They don't want to send my grandfather to a nursing home. And be reminded my grandpa lives in Malaysia(asia, close to india). What can we do to help?

my grandma has alzheimers and i know its hard. the bestyou can do is help him get his will in order. i really hate to tell you this but probably the best thing for you to do is put him in asisted living when he starts going downhill. theres a difference in assisted living because there you can walk around on you own and youre pretty much alone except they help you get dressed if needed and come get you for dinner that kind of stuff. im sorry i couldnt help you out more. good luck!

not to scare you but my grandma died from that. alzheimers can be very dangerous. they usually get violent because they dont know who you are and they are trying to protect themselves and they get angry becaus they cant remember so they once again get dangerous. they will stop eating forget and burn down the house the best thing to do is put him in a nursing home sorry
4 :
You guys should book a plane flight to get him to your house. It would be cruel to leave him sick in a nursing home and you guys 1/2 way across the world. So You guys can sent someone over there and let them pick him up. And he should move in with you guys. Im sure your uncle had a good reason that he didnt want to tell you guys. Maybe he didnt want to stress the family out. It's very hard to find out that a beloved family member is sick. So you cant really blame him. I understand that your mother is the only one who shows interest. Maybe try to get the family together for a gathering. ANd you guys can talk about what you can do to help him. Well the ones that you can reach... Good Luck!

Is it possible for you to be scheduled an interview with the US Embassy without the required documents
Is it possible for you to be scheduled an interview with the US Embassy without the required documents?
I know a registered nurse here in Malaysia who passed the NCLEX and everything and has been waiting for a working visa immigrant status petition for 7 years already, he said that his interview is a week from now but he is not sure if it will go through coz all his required documents are in the States and he still doesn't have the proof of job offer which he needs to present, he says it's in the agency's hands, is it even possible for you to be scheduled for interview without such documents in the first place?
