North Carolina's labor projections name environmental engineering technicians as one of their fastest-growing occupations through 2012 with a staggering rate of 41.38%. North Carolina boasts dozens of environmental groups dedicated to the preservation of the state's many rivers, lakes, forests, mountains, and beaches.

These natural resources are what draw thousands of tourists to North Carolina each year. From the Atlantic to the Appalachians to the vibrant cities in between, there are no limits to recreational pursuits in the state.
