Though the ability to work odd jobs while interning is not available to everyone, being “creatively employed” while interning can be an alternative to going into debt for a law or policy degree that may not actually be required for policy work. Policy degrees are frequently listed on job requirements, but the lack of one hasn’t stopped Julia, and she’s also seen people with MPP degrees apply for jobs where they may not have the opportunity to use the skills they developed in their program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6464447ccc34cf22359d3dab/9f7269f3-7903-4d3d-8a8e-092d4342713f/julia-tonko.png Profiles - Connecting to the grid: Julia’s journey toward purpose in policy (no MPP required) - Make it stand out Julia talks to Congressman Paul Tonko, a long-time member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, at a 2020 event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6464447ccc34cf22359d3dab/1c9e78e0-c891-4f50-83ff-224fb801059b/gramlich-testimony.png Profiles - Connecting to the grid: Julia’s journey toward purpose in policy (no MPP required) - Make it stand out Julia sits behind her boss while he testifies at a Congressional hearing. The utility industry has a reputation of being a bit old-fashioned, but the electricity world is undergoing a transition that requires new ideas and a bigger workforce. Historically, electricity has been a male-dominated field, with the term DOUG (for “Dumb Old Utility Guy”) still a running joke at conferences. Julia’s first long-term role was at a trade association staffed only by women – a rarity in the sector. She had to be patient on her path to transition out of communications and administration work into policy, taking on roles that mixed her experience with her aspirations. “The closer you get to these [climate] issues, the more you see progress.” - Julia How do you stay hopeful? “The closer you get to these [climate] issues, the more you see progress,” Julia comments. At the large scale, like an IPCC climate report, it may look like things aren’t improving, “But if you’re looking at it from a utility plan perspective, they’re getting better.” At the same time, even the most dire climate predictions are just part of a range of possibility: “You hear a number [like a projection of a future mean summer temperature] and you think that’s what will happen, but that’s part of a big curve of possibility — something five times worse or better is all in the realm of possibility.” It’s important to keep that in perspective. Although climate is important to Julia, she also recognizes the emotional toll it can take: “I have to not think about climate every day to have it be a sustainable job.” Julia’s encouraged by the fact that her firm works with a lot of major technology companies with 100% clean energy goals, which are seeing that “it would be much better if the whole grid went zero emissions to achieve their energy goals,” and she’s glad to see these large organizations ”put their money where their mouth is” and invest in the more technical elements of the clean energy transition, beyond procuring renewable energy credits. What should I do? It sounds simple, but sometimes it’s as easy as talking to people. “A lot of people in climate, utilities or clean energy are very generous with their time in terms of talking to people getting into the industry,” Julia says. “If you are ambitious and driven and you will act on the advice you’re given and you really want to start a career, call people up, send emails. People will talk and help you understand your options.” Key insights from Julia Find your work style: consulting can be great for people who like a “blank page”–starting with something new. You might not need a policy degree, and if you have one, you might not use what you learned. Don’t stress the big climate picture every day – find a way to focus on the present. If you’re curious about working in energy, ask!
