I have already referenced GE before as a great company to start your career with, and here is another cool opportunity from the innovative company. The EcoChallenge is put on by GE and MtvU, and challenges college students to bring ideas to the table on how to improve the environment on college campuses. Now, I am not a treehugger or hippie by any means, but I enjoy a good reason to think creatively - outside the box, if you will. Your idea could be as simple as a new trash/recycling campaign or something as crazy as designated smoking areas that are giant bubbles with air filters that turn the smoke into something good for the environment, like more Al Gore's. Is that a little political humor mixed with sarcasm? Panel says....yes, lame, but yes. In all seriousness, someone out there has a great idea that could actually help the environment, and participating in this contest would not look too shabby on the resume. Work with some of your friends or fly solo, and just see what happens after you submit your idea. There is also a link to apply for jobs with GE on the EcoChallenge page, if you are interested.
