Still looking for ways to use your talents in this new economy? Do you want a job that pays the bills AND changes the world?

How about a “green” job?  We’ve been hearing about this “green initiative” for a long time now and many of you (and me) have been asking but where are the jobs? when are they coming? and what are they called?

Well here are a few answers to those questions:

According to Herman Trend Alert (www.hermangroup.com/alert) this eco- conscious sector is growing rapidly. A few of the Top 10 Green jobs are Land Use Planner, Ecotour Operator, Green Building Managers, Solar Panel Installers and Green Venture Capitalists. Check out GreenCollarHiring.com for the complete list.

Here are some organizations that are also hiring:

-The Campaign to Save the Environment is looking for people in over 60 cities to operate as Field Staff, Field Managers, and Campaign Coordinators.

-The Green Corps 2009-2010 Field School for Environmental Organizing is looking for 35 college grads to learn to be environmental activists.

-Environmental Defense Fund is looking for web talent

-National Wildlife Federation is looking for folks with communications experience

-The Environmental Defense Fund

So how might you use your talents to better the world ecologically? Is a”green” job for you?
