    Hey all,
    Just looking for a bit of advise from ye.ive got a 2.1 hons degree in Construction and Project Management.i am very eager to start a career in renewable energy.im just wondering would it be better for me to look for some work experience in an established energy company or should i apply for a masters degree in sustainable energy or something similer.i done a lot of sustainable energy modules for my honours degree and also done a dissertation on it so i have a good standard of knowledge of the industry and i have a huge interest in it.It would be a huge help to me to hear your ideas on this.Thanks

    Not really sure how to answer you're question but I can tell you that I know that a lot of unemployed Civil Engineers are starting to head into Renewable Energy fast as it seems to be the only area where work is actually growing. You'd be competing with guys have at least 6-10yrs experience under their belt. I'd recommend getting out there into the work force & getting a job with a Renewable Energy Consultant for a yr or 2 first.

    In my experience, Master/PHd's only really have a bearing on your Engineering career when you start to get really high up the food chain or if you manage to get some sort of local government/state job. Otherwise it's experience that most companies are interested in (ie. what do you actually know)
