I just got my associates in environmental science and natural resources. I'm hoping to go back to school for biochemical engineering so I can work on creating energy sources for NREL one day. I'm trying to find jobs in my area to get some sort of prior experience, but everyone wants a bachelors and experience for an entry level job. But I need to start working to get my family into a better position before going back to school. What sort of jobs should I look for to help me start in this field?

I would say to still apply even when a bachelor's is asked for. Be clear about your skills and goals. A contract or a temp role might be good to get started and find a better position.

The best job, I think, you could do to break into the field is probably a marijuana trap facility. I found that companies appreciate the environmental experience. You will also be making some good money to set you family up.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

Do I just make something else up entirely?

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?
