There are a number of "vertical" job boards out there that focus either on the environmental field as a whole or others that have a particular focus on solar, wind, geothermal, sustainability, etc. In any event, the move towards a more targeted approach is making jobs boards - and esp. green job boards - a popular destination, and definitely worth checking out for those looking to break into the field.

You are right. Green jobs are the jobs of the future and in most cases you won't need special "green" credentials to get them. After all, they should touch every employment sector out there. With millions of these jobs being added over the next few decades, even people in administrative functions have a good chance of working for a company that is performing a green role. Green jobs are expected to become the country’s fastest-growing job sector. At the beginning of this trend you'll see green jobs popping up in big cities first -- places like Houston, Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, and New York......Currently, New York holds the most green jobs. While jobs like engineering and renewable energy are most often thought of as green jobs, these jobs will also extend to all areas (legal, research, architecture, consulting, etc.) and therefore extend to all those in support of those roles (administrative assistants, clerks, secretaries).
