the future

The job of the future is green, and no its not picking apples. 
Here is a link to an excellent SMH article from a week or so ago that I missed, but entirely agree with. It states the job of the future is the Corporate Sustainability Officer, this is a role that pretty much did not exist two years ago. The person in this role would manage the firms Carbon Liabilities, Sustainability policies and the likes. It sounds like a pretty cool job.
Things are moving slowly, but they are moving towards a more sustainable future. The fact companies think aobut these things now is a huge step forward.

THE global climate crisis will fundamentally reshape organisations and management. It will bring in new career paths, even new subject choices at university, and change the structure of organisations and the way they are run. It's early days, and no one in the world knows its final impact, but there are already signs of the ground shifting. It will force businesses and managers to live with uncertainty, a world shaped by forces still emerging.
Several weeks ago, I wrote that the job of the future will be the chief carbon officer, or CCO. That's because global warming is no longer an environmental issue. The person with this job will handle everything from working the emissions trading scheme, to hedging growth to ensure the company can offset increased greenhouse gas emissions, assessing the impact of carbon liabilities and credits on balance sheets, checking the legal ramifications of climate change, conducting due diligence on trading partners and suppliers, and handling the tax and insurance issues.
