So, all the threads on climate change and global warming got me to thinking about old articles I'd read re:green jobs. I recalled having read articles over the last few years that fleshed out what the author felt to be the top10 (like we do) and why. So I went a'searchin to see if I could find one of these articles so that we might bicker about it.

-Farmer
-Forester
-Solar Power Installer
-Energy Efficient Builder
-Wind Turbine Fabricator
-Conservation Biologist
-Green MBA and Entreprenuer
-Recycler
-Sustainability Systems Developer
-Urban Planner
Of these, is anyone here particular interested in one over the other (and why?). If you were writing the list would you omit, replace, or add something? If you had to order any of these, even only a few, where would they fall in your estimation?
-Perhaps an interesting side discussion. I've been reading articles like this for a decade, if any of these were going to be the next big thing, why have I met so few people pursuing them, why isn't there a huge groundswell of interest, and just where the fuck are all these people if they do exist?-
(and of course, if you think the whole "green" bit is bullshit and none of these things are important or worthwhile, I'd love to hear all about that as well)
