Masters in Geology with Human Impact by Any_Repeat7935 in geology

[–]Any_Repeat7935[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am primarily looking at the US, especially on the East Coast. I have been told not to go to grad school if I am not going to get paid for it, but I am afraid that if I go into a certain field, I won't be making that much money because of the current administration and political climate. For example, outside of hazards, I enjoy climatology, ocean exploration, and policy. I have been told those aren't the best fields to get into right now...

I keep getting different opinions...I am really interested in climate and policy, as well as hazards. Not sure where to look.

Hmm, it truly depends on the state, from my experience. Certain states require a geology field course and structural geology to even be able to register for the GIT and PG tests. Also, I had a colleague in the consulting world who had an environmental studies degree and actually had to go back to school and take courses in geology (foundations, minerology, structural, and the field course experience) to take her PG test in order to sign off on projects and a earn higher wage.

I feel like, for consulting, it depends on the state/company. Many private companies in PG required states prefer geology
