A weatherization operations manager can be a very good green job, but you will need some training. If you have a bachelor's degree in accounting, budgeting or inventory management, than you will be ahead of others. A college degree can cost around $7 to $30 thousand a year depending on where you go. Along with a degree, you will also need some construction experience. It may be helpful to help out at a construction company while you are going through school.
