For specific degrees leading students to careers involved in sustainability and conservation: http://www.gograd.org/resources/green-grad-degrees/. In addition to general advice for grad students the guide includes:

- The ten most popular green graduate degrees
- Eco-friendly scholarship opportunities
- 20 in-demand green jobs

The term "green" has evolved into, not only a lifestyle, but a way to thrive. More recently, degrees in fields such as environmental science, certain types of engineering, and specialty law practices have become significantly more popular. Accredited Schools Online has created and in-depth guidebook for Green Degrees and Career Options: Green Degrees and Careers. In addition to this guidebook, they offer a guidebook to sustainable living and how to 'keep it green' in college. That can be found here: A Guide to Sustainability in College and in Life

For an overview of careers in sustainability, including a salary calculator that factors in position and location (city & state) see: http://www.sustainabilitydegrees.com/careers/

A comprehensive list of colleges that offer programs in sustainability-related fields (over 1,000 programs and growing!) can be found here: http://www.sustainabilitydegrees.com/degrees/ . In addition, a college student action guide with over 10,000 words on building sustainability campaigns on campus, finding funding, and reaching goals is available here: http://www.sustainabilitydegrees.com/the-ultimate-how-to-guide-for-stude.

Turning Green Degrees Into Sustainable Careers is yet another expert-driven guide that provides environmentally-conscious students the resources they need to carry their green lifestyle choices throughout their education and into their careers.
