Educational Requirements:

Students should take challenging college preparatory courses, especially in mathematics and science, during high school. A career in industrial hygiene requires a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. The Bachelor’s Degree should be in occupational health and safety, environmental health engineering, or the physical sciences. Many jobs require certification and/or a Master's Degree in these.

I think I would like to be an Industrial Hygienist because the salary is good and you are able to check if people work in a safe environment.
