General Updates

There are many more career paths beyond the bait jobs you hear about on TikTok.

The only jobs people think exist these days:

→Tech Sales
→Corporate Law
→Investment Banking
→Project Management
→*insert another popular job*

Most of the time, you are only interested in these jobs because everybody else is…

Or

You think these are the only roles where you can make “a lot of money.”

But you can make “a lot of money” in ANY field.

For example, the sustainability space is considered a growth industry that has been receiving significant attention and investment in recent years.

Which has been translating to more jobs and lucrative career paths.

No one really talks about these niche industries but they are innovating and building technologies of the future.

Now because it’s such a niche industry, you may come across job titles that just don’t look familiar, like:

• Development & Innovation Intern: first of all, 🔥tuff🔥 job title. The purpose of this role is to come up with innovative ideas to make energy greener and more affordable using technology.

• Customer Ops Specialist: Where you are managing relationships with individuals and businesses transitioning into using electric vehicles.
