The Green Life

Follow Greenzo's lead

Ah the exciting life of a new college grad today....waiting tables, nannying, hanging out in your parent's basement. The opportunities are endless. If you're not interested in moving back in with the folks and searching for a career path check out the growing green job market. Tracey de Morsella from greeneconomypost.com put together a great meta-list of top green careers. Below you will find a compilation of my favorites from the list.
