I just found another cool green jobs site at http://www.hirejam.com. It seems like Ohio has a lot of green jobs.

Thank you to Jobbler and Frank for highlighting the exciting and far-reaching ‘green’ changes that are occurring within our employment industries. The opportunities linked with this are far reaching and certainly not contained within the field of charity work!!
It’s great to hear your thoughts and have your insightful contributions, thanks!

To echo Jobbler, so-called “green” jobs are absolutely not about charity. At their essence, they’re about reshaping how people do what they do, and that’s what’s so exciting about this shift: Extractive industries (which is what our economy has been built on) are at the very beginning of a process of reinvention. As new, sustainable business models continue to be pioneered, there will be challenges to leaders in every industry by competitors focused on doing business sustainably. The financial incentive for change, driven by consumer demand, rising prices of doing business in this old way, and increasing regulation, represents a huge economic opportunity for entrepreneurs not to mention lucrative paychecks for many of their employees.

I have one thing to add – I don’t think a “green job” should be thought of as a charity position, or even a financial sacrifice – the greenest jobs right now are in positions of influence in traditional companies where you can work tomake that company operate in a “Greener” fashion. And by “greener” I’m not just talking about energy or recycling – it’s about changing the company’s operations from manufacturing all the way down the supply chain, to the way the company treats employees and invests itself into the communities in which it operates. The idea that green jobs are charity has to go!
