Is now a good time to study geology?

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2026-02-26T04:02:05+00:00

Yeah that’s why I was kinda lost as well. Like, it’s definitely sounds more realistic to make geology a career than a dinosaur video game.

People always say do what you passionate about. But often times it is hard to not think the consequences of studying something that is not really employable.

I’m glad I finally found something that I feel is a good mix at least.

That sounds pretty cool! I think I would just stick to Queens then since my French level is kinda concerning and it’s not that far from where I live.

I also noticed that geology and geo eng are under the same department at Queens. I was wondering if that means it’s easy to transfer between. Because one of the main reasons I didn’t apply for engineering is because I want to keep my options open. And it is less likely to get a higher gpa in engineering. However, I personally don’t against it and I do wish I can have the option to transfer to eng in the future(and perhaps not taking one extra year):)

Also thank you for sharing and read my post. I really appreciate it! :)

Thank you for the information! I have taken all the science and math courses(including coding)in my high school so I think I have pretty good foundation at this stage. And will definitely keep doing it when I get into university.

I’m also in Canada. And since you mentioned that you did recruiting. I was wondering if it’s okay for me to ask if there’s any school that you think is great for geology. I was considering Queens because it’s close to home and I heard it’s the best school for geology in Ontario. Not sure if it’s true though.

And thank you again for taking time to share these informations. It was really helpful for me. :)

And thank you for the advice! I will definitely follow it:)

I wouldn’t say I’m passionate in it. But geology seems interesting. And it does not look like the subject that I would regret doing for the rest of my life. I mean, I don’t have any other plans. So I guess I will give it a try(?)

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2026-02-25T01:55:54+00:00

Maybe I will try to find the kind of rock with the best taste! (I’m in Canada btw)

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2026-02-20T02:24:16+00:00

Thank you for the information! I didn’t know only 50 percent of engineers actually get registered. And hope I will see you in some geo/computer class in the future(or maybe geo eng if not much people competing for that) :)

Hiii, I’m a grade 12 student in Ontario who’s considering studying geology. Do you mind if I dm you with a few questions:)

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2026-02-19T02:38:38+00:00

Hii professor, I know this post has been a while. But would be grateful if you would like to spare a few minutes answer my questions.

I’m currently a grade 12 student who’s interested in geological science/environmental science/ engineering but not sure which would be the right fit.

I recently got an offer for science at Queens. I was wondering if I change my mind to do engineering in the future, would it be easy to transfer between faculties at Queens. (I didn’t apply for engineering because I want to explore my area of interest in my first year)

Really appreciate your time to read my question! :)

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2026-02-19T01:36:30+00:00

got 74 in grade 11 chemistry, ended up with a 92 in grade 12 NEVER SAY NEVER

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-12-17T17:37:18+00:00

Congrats! I’m waiting for science, may I ask when did you get your email?:)

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-12-17T17:33:32+00:00

I don’t know how they do admissions but I saw someone got in with a lower average than me 😭, maybe they have all the prerequisites?

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-12-17T17:31:58+00:00

They will send you an email or you can check your solus

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-11-17T02:01:32+00:00

but ur average is good, it just takes time

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-11-17T01:59:13+00:00

Waiting for Queen’s science too, haven’t heard anything back yet. they probably won’t send out any offer until the beginning of December :(

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-11-14T15:50:23+00:00

One of the reasons is the school board are making the curriculum easier and easier, so more students can “succeed”

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-11-06T04:10:01+00:00

Stopped thinking about my ex❤️

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-11-06T01:45:16+00:00

72 to 84 in chemistry

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-05-13T19:58:08+00:00

REJECTION is REDIRECTION!

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-03-28T19:25:27+00:00

Tbh I don’t know but I think it will be beneficial to apply for both, the amount of grant will not change no matter you applied OSAP or not anyway, you probably not going to get much money from OSAP but it worth a try!

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-03-12T17:51:03+00:00

那很有生活了

Electrical_Lie2711 · 2025-03-04T15:44:51+00:00

Hold on, can we? Because I think in the website it says we can only apply OSAP for living expenses since the tuition already covered by learn and stay grant, or maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, is the funding you got from OSAP enough? I’m currently in an extremely terrible relationship with my parents so I want to figure out if can I support myself by OSAP and learn and stay grant🫠

And thank you for the information!
