What kind of job are you looking for?

What kind of job are you looking for? What exactly is your degree good for? What is an Environmental Engineer?
As a person who is one class away from getting a master in Environmental Engineering, I should not have trouble answering those questions. As a young professional looking for a job I should know the answer to that too... and I do. I do know the answer. Do I have a concise way of putting it into a simple statement that somebody outside my field can understand? No, I don't and that's a problem. Expect an essay to come answering those questions. Here's a list for now.

An Environmental Engineer:
Treats waste water
Treats polluted air (for example think about coal plants)
Does remediation (think cleaning up contaminated ground water)
Designs artificial wetlands
Habitat restoration
