The federal government published the Occupational Outlook Handbook every two years.  This includes a brief job description, average salaries, and the outlook for the next ten years.  You can find this online at www.bls.gov/oco/home.htm.  Good luck!

I'm not so sure that our planet won't destroy itself first!  But, it sounds like a good career plan.

That would be a Geologist who specializes in the study of plate tectonics.

well it depends on what sort of a career your looking for.  since they do a lot of work on oil rigs im guessing you are mechanical or civil engineering.  so something like To obtain a full time position in (insert major) with Schlumberger.  Otherwise dont worry about putting an objective.  they generally know your objective is to get a job.

The best site I've found is the US Government's Occupational Outlook Handbook. It's a most up-to-date resource that tells all about various careers, including  the outlook on salaries, what's required to enter the field, whether the opportunities are growing or not in the United States, etc.  The home page also offers a link to state-by-state information. Good Luck!

You won't know till you try. Go for it. \n\nAccording to the http://www.bls.gov/k12/nature01.htm site the job is a growing field, but not easy to find because of large numbers of applicants. \n\nCheck some zoos online. I found this list at the San Diego Zoo:\nhttp://www.sandiegozoo.org/CF/jobs/JobResults.cfm

Well, no one is going to pay you to "think deep".  That just scares people in this plastic superficial world we live in.\n\nHow about a job at a museum or as a national park employee, a park ranger or educator at a park?  Many state parks have programs or camps for day trippers, you could be an outside educator which would utilize some of your basic psychology skills also.

First thing would be to apply to every Geologic, Environmental, and Environmental Engineering company that you know of.\nSecond, try not to be tied to a certain location.  There are tons of geology jobs out there, but unless you live in the American Southwest, most of them will require you to move away from home.\nThird, have your professors refer you to former students from the department who are working in the field.

Engineering geology and environmental geology both examine properties of earth & stone in relation to their uses.  For an example:  Examination of building sites considering the geology can be essential in earthquake, erosion or mudslide prone areas.  Most oceanography teams also include a geologist to help examine areas considered environmentally sensitive. Examination of runoff properties can help determine ways to prevent contamination of water supplies.  Though research is involved, these forms of geology tend to concentrate on application which creates better environmental modifications for humans.  A house or a parking lot that falls into a sinkhole isn't really useful; bridges that collapse due to tremors aren't desirable.  I suppose you could say these applications benefit us by allowing sensible and sustainable use of our environment.

there are lots of jobs for civil engineers\n\nRanging between 3000 to 25000 SR per month (if not more)

Science will help you get employment in many fields.  It has so many uses that are crucial to our lives today.  There is medecine, Astronomy, Physics for engineering and a host of other things.  I wish I could have done more in that field when I was in school.
