Let's not forget—the Earth is basically a gigantic rock with a miniature sun (the core) right in the middle of it. That means this baby gives off some serious heat. Power plants are being built to harness that heat and use it as energy. And those plants need managers—which is where you might come in. As a geothermal production manager, you'll oversee the daily operations of the plant, making sure you've got the right employees, machines, and safe workplace policies. Geothermal energy production is a new and evolving field, and as a manger you could be one of the leading experts on it—which would be pretty darn cool.
The Details
Opening up the Earth and capturing some of its natural energy is a tricky thing, so geothermal production managers have the great responsibility of making sure that the planet is taken care of during that process.
Geothermal energy production began in the early 20th century, and for decades it was used only by Italy—now almost 100 countries are using it.
