Employment Opportunities from Shale-gas development

From Penn State Institutues of Energy and the Environment:

Shale-gas development creates demand for environmental graduates
The Marcellus Shale natural gas play is having a significant impact on Pennsylvania's economy, and Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences is helping to position students to benefit from associated employment opportunities. Recently the college's Environment and Natural Resources Institute held a Marcellus Shale Info-Fest for students in the College of Agricultural Sciences in environment-related majors to show them what the specialized industry has to offer in the way of jobs.
