When you think of a geologist, you might think
about rocks.
Well, geology isn’t just about rocks.
There is a wide spectrum of career paths in
geology.
After receiving an education in geology, geologists
often work for corporate, non-profit, or government
organizations or they enter secondary education
or academics.
Having a professional career in geology often
means having a master’s or Ph.D. degree.
Common job sectors for geologists include
research, teaching, and education, mining
and quarrying, energy, engineering geology,
environmental geology, hydrogeology, emergency
management, or forensic geology.
Geologists are important because they are
continually studying the planet.
Searching to make new discoveries, and learning
more about the environment around us.
They deal with some of society’s major issues
including energy sources, sustainability,
water management, land development, natural
hazards, and climate change.
Geology careers are growing and are extremely
important to life on Earth.
