I’ve been in the environmental sustainability world for 19 years without one and don’t know many that have them. Those that do have masters in engineering or MBAs. Personally don’t think one is needed. What’s your undergrad in?

If you really want to continue your education, go for it! Preferred means preferred, and a lot of the “requirements” in a job description are also preferred, so don’t let that be your main driver. Experience and certifications can help you round out your sustainability experience, too!

You could get a MS in Environmental Science or Environmental engineering or Energy Systems engineering or Environmental Policy or Environmental Management or Natural Resource Management.

Not a masters but check out IEMA in the UK. They have certification programs that cover a lot of ground.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
