Which job will you choose? – Today’s CLIDEMY Climate Poll
Imagine you are looking for a new job, and a genie appears in front of you magically and asks you to choose one of the following (only one!)
𝐀 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐄𝐎 of a multi-billion $ firm but one whose activities are not exactly eco-friendly (say, a mining company)
𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐱𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 to teach sustainability and environment. Good but not great pay, but valuable & high impact research & academic work
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐏𝐂𝐂 – the organization that is responsible for research and recommendations on climate change. Very prestigious, pay is excellent though not very high, and also, there might a huge amount of “political” work and endless meetings
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞, 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 – Very high pay and huge power to influence climate tech solutions through investments, though there could be significant pressure from investors to ensure high returns and many actions could be money-centric and not necessarily environment centric.
Which of the above will you choose?
