Actually check with the suggested courses for such a direction of study at the university you plan on attending. Also look at similar job listings in the paper or online to see if the BS is adequate, you may have to go for an MS which will add 2 years to an expected 5 years of study. You will also see what other minors might be a good idea to approach. Learning a second or third language, evenif not perfect, can give you an advantage over others if you don't mind looking at potential jobs in other countries. In the UK, it might be dicey. 7 years out is a long time, even 5 years is a long time. So be adaptable and realistic. You may end up having to settle for a job in an allied field.

Rachel Carson.
She wrote the book Silent Spring in 1962 and was one of the main people responsible for the ban of the pesticide DDT in the United States. A very influential natural historian and environmental scientist.

My brother Allen. Technically he is a sanitation engineer (yes, that's what it says on his Masters), not to be confused with garbage worker. He builts treatment plants and does a lot of environmental impact surveys.
