geology degree is the dark horse of all degrees

[Moeybruh]

if one isn't good at maths/physics, and couldn't cut law or business, what else is there for those brahs (serious)

[haydrs]

reps, planning to major in geophysics and chemistry, hopefully be ballin once out of uni working in dem mines

[BertramStarre]

lol geology? thats basically an arts degree bro learning about rocks and **** HAHA. i suspect its full of ppl too dumb to be engineers

Why does the misc have such a hard on for engineering? Its only a moderately hard degree, there's nothing special about it at all.

[TheAsianMan]

haha yeah agree. I can testify to the truth of that. When you graduate you think you will have it all, not the case. Graduation is only the beginning of the struggle!! doing bitch work for superiors you have more talent then is what you will be doing for the next 5 years. srs.

well duh... i have friends who graduate ahead of me and have a hard time finding work so i know that very well, the difference is their job isn't in demand. I actually get emails from companies wanting to hire new geologist for mudlogging, and im not even a graduate yet. Granted its a **** job but at least there are jobs available.

geophysics and chemistry is pretty challenging, these are the kind of things that you have to be pretty dedicated into. If you are looking to be a baller look into petroleum or hydrology, they are more practical majors and you're prob gonna end up focusing on those, good luck.

I have a friend that can't find a job with his geology major

[Ramadanman]

Geologist with the right connections = big bucks

Oil and mining companies will always need good geologists

[Bmonaye]

Good luck in your 20xx goals of being an assistant manager at your local GAP store.

[sirbrandon101]

why so low?

It can be quite a bit higher than that. In the oil industry you can make > 150k with a masters degree.

geology major checking in

[spirit3530]

...so basically your Indiana Jones right?

Yes, except instead of looking for the lost arc you look for oil.

LMAO,

Jones was an Anthropologist with a Doctorate in Archaeology

Op thinks his job is this



which is really like this




And OP future is more like this




Which mostly results in a life like this

Good luck in your 20xx goals of being an assistant manager at your local GAP store.

In this economy...

where is he locate?

lmao pretty spot on, although if i ever do get a job as a hydrologist i can safely assume i wont be traveling far since i live in southern CA

[ChrisHansenDatelineNBC]

so is it worth changing from MechE to Geophysics? sounds a bit better as the environment can change. Dont care so much about the pay, but more about job prospects

Geology is really interesting to me and a surprisingly valuable degree. If I was to redo college I think I would be a geology major!

[surf junkie]

I think you mean 'dark horse' op not black horse lmao

big black horse

I thought Some sort of "geological" engineering would deal with practical aplications.

A general geology degree is just mainly focused on theory right?

[Ataulf]

I'm going to go to LSU for petroleum engineering

Brb 80K starting salary
Brb never out of demand
Brb China industrializing so more oil demand

[Shangius]

Guy from my high school got a Geology degree from a crappy state school. Went straight to the oil fields in TX and started making 80k right off the bat.

[ilicet51]

Yeah....that's all incredibly dull.

[Tom1]

mudlogger checking in.

some of the wellsite geos ive been working alongside are on 1-1.5k per day (AUD) and get to travel around the world.

one geo bought 60k in shares in buru energy because he was working for them and he knew alot of their wells would produce and the shares went from .22 to 2.98 in like 1 year. stroing insider knowledge

why are you talking like you've actually accomplished something already?

[Alphacapwn]

join honours in geology and physics here.

brb peppering my angus for quantum mechanics exam tomorrow.

[floaton]

My dad majored in geology related sciences back when nobody thought it'd be good and that eletrical engineering would be the future.
He now makes 400k a year. Good luck to you fellow asian brah

[thereasonwhy]

A minor in Geology any good (have to take a minor, i've already got enough courses to minor in Geology, Bio major)?

[TheAsianMan]

so is it worth changing from MechE to Geophysics? sounds a bit better as the environment can change. Dont care so much about the pay, but more about job prospects

its worth it in terms of job prospect, but beware, geophysics is very tough i have only meet one guy who was ballsy enough to do it, and he is the smartest guy in the class.

[guest89]

Lots of money to be made in biology if you aren't bored out of your mind with it.

...so basically your Indiana Jones right?

Biology to the living organism is what geology is to the Earth.
