                             Environmental Health Specialist Sanitarian

Duties and Responsibilities: Sanitarians, or environmental health specialists, enforce government regulations and advise and educate clients.  They also improve water and sanitation facilities and are involved in improving the quality of community environments.  They often collect and analyze samples, screen samples for possible health hazards, design or manage sanitation, disposal, and water systems, oversee disposal of infectious wastes, develop and manage prevention and education programs, evaluate and identify health hazards and ensure compliance with regulations.

Salary:  $25,000-$50,000


Education: Students should take college preparatory courses, especially in mathematics and science, during high school. A career as a sanitarian or environmental health specialist requires a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in environmental health or environmental engineering.  Many jobs require certification and/or a Master's Degree in these, or related fields. 
                                                                         Reflection: Sounds like a totally awesome job, but I'm just not interisted :p .
