Date: November 27th, 2004 11:58 AM Author: Know-it-all doctorate I'll be working as an environmental consultant, most likely. WVU's Geology program isn't all that great, from what I know, and you pretty much need to get a masters to get a decent job.
Top jobs in Geology include: working for an oil company, working for the gov't (mostly doing field work for PhDs), working as a environmental consultant, or working for a private firm doing specific stuff (hydrology - urban development stuff).
Be prepared for a lot of science/math. Geology is treated as a physical science at most schools and require a good understanding of Chem, Physics, and Calc. Calc only if you go into higher level geo stuff, like GeoMechanics, GeoPhysics, and Hydrology. |

Hmm, so not working in geology. Guess that wouldn't be very helpful, then. |

hydreology isn't bad either, but they really come from more of an engineering undergraduate background.
if you plan on just getting a bachelor's in it, you should killself, though. |
