Job Descriptions

Below are listed example positions from the USA Jobs website as retrieved on December 8, 2005. These are actual position descriptions, but they are meant mainly to serve as guides to help you develop a course plan as an NREM undergraduate as well as think about career opportunities. Some positions may encourage or require education beyond the undergraduate degree. Others may expect prior experience in the field. This is where your internship opportunities become important for preparing you for a career. There are many Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) and Student Career Employment Program (SCEP) opportunities within the federal government at any one time. These are not listed here but can be found on the USA Jobs website. The Student Conservation Association is another good source for student internships around the country.
