Training and schooling needed to be an air quality specialist can vary. You do not need to go to school to get a job and start your career.

If you have 20 years experience with auto companies test air quality, than turn that knowledge into a specialized green job. If you have experience in environmental studies, this may also apply.

If you do not have the experience, than schooling may be a great option. Degrees generally can cost $30 to $50 thousand, and you will have a degree in one of the science related field. Look into getting an environmental science degree.
