| Environmental scientist |
USEPA in Region 1 is shrinking due to lack of budget. There is no
hiring. If a person leaves there is no rehiring only an internal
competition for that position. Some jobs actually go away due to lack
of need. For young people trying to go up the agency management ladder
the atmosphere is better. For scientists not wanting to manage people,
the work is a dead end and people are trying to find other positions
within the agency by taking short term details (Job experience in
another position in another region or in a headquarters office.) There
is growth for young graduates if they can get a interview but if there
are no openings there is little hiring. Student interns have an inside
track on new positions that are not advertised outside to the public.
For older employees ther is little job growth or career growth.
