I'm interested in working as an alternative energy presenter. Has anyone seen such a position advertised on any jobsite websites yet? I do lots of "greenfests," am a trained mechanical engineer, and am quite able to speak to large groups/gatherings without confusing them. Maybe someone here can advise me about my search for this type of job.
