Career as an Environmental Economist: Environment and Economics are the two major topics these days, essential for us to live harmoniously. An Environmental Economist’s job is to create balance, between the natural forces and the industrial forces of humans. ‘Judicious’ is the approach that an Environmental Economist has to take to deal with the problems that arise. Environment and Economy don’t necessarily work against each other, but in a multitude of cases, one tries to dominate the other. As an Environmental Economist, one gets the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of the economic incentives that humankind gets when using its and nature’s resources judiciously, as well as the damages that human greed can cause when the economy decides to accelerate without keeping the environment in radar.
