Green Careers is a marvelous career guide for the 21st century. It outlines the career possibilities, defines the roles of various occupations, provides examples of each, and outlines for the reader the ways and means of entering or even transferring into these new pathways. It should be in all career collections.
 -Margaret Riley Dikel, Rileyguide.com

Cassio and Rush inspire readers to consider sustainability issues and perspectives when choosing a career. They provide helpful advice and resources for career decision-makers at all levels. A must-read for current career service professionals, students in high school through graduate school, and mid-career job seekers. This book encourages all of us to find ways to "go green" on the job!
 -Melissa Venable, PhD, National Career Development Association

Green Careers fills a long-standing gap in what we know about green careers. Cassio and Rush have created a detailed, accessible, and easy-to-read compendium of green careers that covers a wide spectrum of jobs - from highly technical positions to trade jobs to business-related opportunities. The engaging interviews with green job holders give readers a rich, hands-on introduction to a wide variety of interesting green positions. I already know this book will have a prominent place on my bookshelf.
 -Carol McClelland, PhD, Founder and Executive Director of Green Career Central and author of Your Dream Career For Dummies

This is a valuable resource for people looking to find a career in sustainability. It pulls together information that would be otherwise hard to find: salaries, employment prospects and advice from those in the field.
-Darcy Hitchcock, co-author of the award-winning book, The Business Guide to Sustainability, and co-founder of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals
