What is a green job?
A green job is any job that is ‘good for the environment’
- Van Jones, advisor to President Obama says a green job is: “a family-supporting career-track job that directly contributes to preserving or enhancing environmental quality.”
- The biggest misconception about green jobs is that they’re primarily for researchers, scientists, and PhDs.
- The reality is that most of the jobs in the green economy are similar to roles in other industries. Solar manufacturers, for example, still need project managers, accountants, assemblers, IT professionals, customer service reps, marketing professionals and account executives, just like other companies.
- “The green economy is not just for the Ph.D. but also for the Ph.-do” says Van Jones. Somebody still needs to build, sell, deliver, and install these technologies.

Hi,
The reason behind this email is the Video link I saw on the CNN website. I am very very inspired and happy with the work Sheikh has done. Its very motivating and definitely one has to bring that change in him. The balance which Sheikh is talking about is very necessary and everyone living at least in this country should mould himself into the Sheikhs beliefs. I will attaining my Masters this September in Petroleum Engineering and surely get deeper into these concepts. I wish him all the very best from my side.
