I’m all about hot jobs these days, and here’s a surprising one caught my eye while reading Fortune magazine.
Due to the solar-power boom, engineering companies are scrambling to hire biologists to help with wildlife and environmental surveys to make sure new solar stations in deserts and fields meet government standards. Obviously, the goal is to not run afoul of protections for threatened species. (Hello, desert tortoise!)
According to the Fortune article, the work is labor-intensive but lucrative (upwards of $120K). Nice work if you can get it.
