Help me! Career counseling for environmental sciences.?

Four the past four years I have been working on a BA in biology in order to go to med school. I graduate at the end of this year. However, I no longer want to be an MD. I realize I care more about the environment than I do the people who are destroying it. I want to have a career with which I would be able to do some good in the world. And maybe I can go back home to Pakistan or to Nigeria (where I grew up) and help the environmental situation there. Anyway. I really don't know what to do. All my life I have wanted to be a doctor. This is all too new to me. Any suggestions? Yup. I don't care about people as I do about the environment or animals. Seriously. Do you think me daft or something? I wouldn't be asking this question if I wasn't serious. (This is for the person who insists I am full of vinegar. Whatever that means.)

1. Hey! That's my major! : ) A major in biology can get you a LOT of places. And it can definitely get you into a good Environmental Sciences Masters program. With environmental sciences you can focus on... anything! Groundwater, geology, oceanic studies, air quality, whatever. There's tons of information out there! Here's the definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_science Some resources for jobs are: http://www.eco.org/ http://www.ejobs.org/ And more about the major: http://careerservices.rutgers.edu/Menvironment.html
