What can you do with a geology degree?
depends on what you're focused on. There are many fields of expertise for a geologist. For example oil geology, geophysics, mineralogy, paleontology, structural geology and many others. With those fields you can work usually on a mining corporation. Very lucrative!
What are the careers for geology?
Geology is a major within itself. However, it is your choice as to what you prefer to focus on whether it be, origin, history, or structure.
Geology of petroleum?
