Missy...Could you ask him what sort of degree(s) would work for that field of work?
Hi tyty, he said it depends from which angle you are approaching it. Do you want to work on the business side? Then undergrad in business and perhaps MBA. Do you want to work on the engineering side? Then undergrad and engineering degree. There is a lot of diversity within the energy field and you can even get a Bachelor's in Business Administration in Sustainability and Green Energy. Something for (almost) everyone.
Greg wasn't sure what he wanted to do when he went to college so he took time off between college and grad school (he went cycling across the country east coast to west coast for 5 months with a good friend and then took some time working) before he went to business school and got his MBA. Then he got his JD and he worked for the DEP for a number of years. But he has done various things with his career involving ethical business practices, the environmental field and teaching (at an engineering school and law school) so just goes to show one doesn't have to be locked into any career choice if one has diverse interests and experience. Sometimes the degree is critical but more often than not your motivation and passion can be more than enough to get you into a field you love.
