Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience switching over to a Health & Safety career path from something else. My partner and I have been looking into the field since we both have a BS and MS in Geology/ Environmental Science but haven't found much luck getting out of low-paying environmental technician gigs. Health & Safety seems to offer both a nice career path, decent salaries, and the chance to do important work. Has anyone switched over to this field? If so, are certifications needed and can they be obtained by someone with limited safety experience? We both have 40-Hour HAZWOPER, but I know that doesn't really apply. (Not sure if it matters, but we are in San Antonio)
Thanks!
