@dykanite: Geoscientists have more options than most other majors with ONE CAVEAT- this is about geology broadly, not a specific niche, and if you’re not willing to move for a job, you’re going to have a hard time getting one. Geology is a job where you move where the job is. Most people I’ve met who couldn’t get a job in geology after graduation it’s because because they were not willing to move for the job or they were only willing to take a job in a specific specialty with fewer jobs available/ wouldn’t take a mud logging or other entry level position- those are totally fine stances to have but should be taken into consideration before becoming a geologist as they will limit your opportunities. I think it’s important to recognize that many other fields you have basically NO options with just a bachelors. Even a masters sometimes. You might not love the options with a bachelors in geology, but we end up in a far better position than most in today’s economy. #Science #stem #biology #physics #geology
what's the cost and salary and time commitment?
do you need to be a learned/gifted person?
or is it a filed where you can learn and grow.

Go to college, they said.
Get a degree, they said.
... and I end up in the mines anyway.

I tell my kids not to go to school unless they study something useful. Geology is most definitely on the list.

if its not grown on a farm, it is mined from the earth. if it is mined, it requires geology

One contributing factor to this is likely that few geologists actually want to go into industry as their first choice. People studying geology typically do it for scientific advancement or the environment, so they'll want to stay in academia or work on conservation

My uncle is a geologist and tried to retire years ago but the state keeps calling to come back on a contract. He’s worked for at least 3 extra years against his will. 😂

Dad says go to college so you don’t end up working a shovel. I went to college for geology and now I work a shovel.

Yep! So many people questioned my major in the early 2000s. Getting the first job was hard but after that I have always found work. 20 years as a geologist now, working fully remote, and making great money. Most importantly, I still love it!

These are some of the things they should be teaching in school. You only hear about doctors, lawyers, and teachers as career options but no one ever explains jobs like this.

as an engineer that took a couple of “dirt classes” it wasn’t my forte. soil is so complex and we will always need geologists!

One of my kids does sea floor mapping to keep shipping channels, military channels etc open- also exploration. She’s a geologist.

So what I’m hearing is that I should’ve and could’ve pursued a geology degree instead of a nursing degree and still had job security (and less punches thrown my way??!)
