Hey James! I've been curious about the ESSP program--is it like ecology, geology, wildlife management, etc. all rolled into one, or is it like environmental studies, or am I missing something? I guess what I'm asking is what you want to end up doing with it. I've never met an ESSP person before.
In case you think I'm giving you a hard time about the applicability of your degree, I should tell you I'm pursuing a Ph.D in paleontology--not the least esoteric area.
