Our Future Waste Manager

We planned before to invite my younger sister who just finished Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management to teach here in Thailand but she graciously declined . She decided to help our mother in our preschool ministry first before she'll venture other career opportunities in government and non-government sectors or industries, environmental laboratories, publication houses for environmental journals, research and development department, waste and pollution control department, local authorities concerning environment, universities or schools, consultancy companies regarding environmental issues, energy generation industry, environment protection and planning industries, quality control department and regarding areas.

I know my sis will have a bright future in her chosen career. With a bachelors degree in Environmental Management she can be hired as:

* Environmental Scientist
* Environment Manager or Advisor
* Teacher
* Quality Control Manager
* Environment Writer
* Researcher or Analyst
* Environment Counselor
* Waste Manager or Pollution Control Officer

You know with the last job featured as a "Waste Manager" we usually tease her that if she happens to be like that it is a job one step higher than a garbage collector...he..he..It's just a joke but don't you know without the garbage collectors, our city will smell like skunks!...LOL! Kidding aside, if it happens that she'll become a Waste Manager or Pollution Control Officer in the coming days I hope that she'll lead the waste Management industry adopt new technologies such as Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, Mapping & GPS and integrated software packages which enable better quality data to be collected without the use of estimation or manual data entry.

* Technologies like RFID tags are now being used to collect data on presentation rates for curb-side pick-ups which is useful when examining the usage of recycling bins or similar.

* Benefits of Mapping & GPS tracking is particularly evident when considering the efficiency of ad hoc pick-ups (like skip bins or dumpsters) where the collection is done on a consumer request basis.

* Integrated software packages are useful in aggregating this data for use in optimization of operations for waste collection operations.

Make way for our own "Waste Manager"!
