Here are some of the areas where green careers are most in demand for 2011 and beyond:
Sustainable business management, recycling, solar energy, wind energy, smart grid, energy efficiency, retrofitting, green building, sustainable farming, sustainable forestry, conservation biology, bio-mimicry, green chemistry, public transportation, waste management, urban planning and sustainable systems development.
Many of these positions require special training. A large number of colleges and technical institutes offer complete career training.
