I greatly appreciate all the advice from professionals currently in the field and their personal experiences. After reading thoroughly through each comment in this topic I've learned I need a backup plan or two. I'm about halfway through my undergraduate studies and am recently considering adding another major in addition to graduate school. I'm also realizing that my first major in Global and Environmental Change alone likely won't get me anywhere. I've learned a lot from these online discussions about the industry, the science, and high competition in the field.
