I am seriously thinking about a career change. I took Geography/GIS during college, and learned a lot from it.

Not staying in college and ending up in dead-end, stressful, call-center type jobs. I would give almost anything to go back to college and get a degree so I could do something I 'want' to do, not 'have' to do.

I think job opportunities are pretty good in the area where I live - but competition is keen. A good education can give you the edge to compete.

They are handy when you cannot fit a class you need into your schedule.  I had to make up one credit to get my degree and I needed a history/geography class.  The distance education/internet class I took was great.  I could fit the work into my existing schedule, didn't have to go to class, had an open book exam, and had to contribute to a few online chat rooms every so often.  Plus you could email the prof anytime if you had questions.

One of my professors recommended:\nhttp://giscareers.com/\nI found this also that has a list of companies, and a long list of job sources:\nhttp://www.gisjobs.com/resources.html\n\nThe field is in high demand, so you should be able to pick the type of job you want to do. Good luck.

Traveling.  I hate being in one place for too long.  I went to 7 different high schools all over the country and I loved it.  Ever since then, it has been in my blood.  So I made a career out of it.  And I will be off to Nicaragua on Sunday.  And a 7 night cruise to Mexico in December.  I get too bored doing the same old thing everyday.  I need variety.  You all should try it.  Save up and ship out.  It is too much fun.

I always wanted to be a sports/news anchor. Right out of high school I went away to college and took broadcasting, got my diploma and started working my dream job!

Change majors!!! I come from a good university. I don't think that's something useful. I had a lot of friends in journalism. It was fun, we went to see plays, student movies, their classes were watching movies, I would join the class. But come on, what can you do with it? All my friends graduated have jobs such as working on a printshop, waiting tables, telemarketing. You could hardly call those jobs for college graduates. I know it's fun, but why would you want to spend 60% of your career looking for work.

Now keep in mind I am a recent college graduate...but I remember when I took Algebra 2, I struggled some...ended up with like a B (I think..hard to remember those details).  I did much better with Geometry though-so thats cool. I enjoy math though-isn't that ironic? I did very well in college though.

It was really nice of you to think of becoming a professional in this field. Go for it and make yourself competent. Good Luck!

maybe you could try and learn something new and exciting that compliments your career, or that will take you to where you want to be.. Perhaps joining a class at college would help. For sure, this would make you meet new people in that line etc., and this would open up your mind, plus take away some of the boredom in life?

Like with most undergraduate degrees, they are not sufficiently specified to get you into a graduate-level geography-related profession. You are likely going to have to take an MSc as well. The general skills that you will acquire will put you in a good position for graduate-level entry jobs, but so will any degree. Geography has some advantages in that it is a social science. You will learn some essay writing skills, report writing skills, some practical and fieldwork skills (each depending on whether you choose to specialised in human or physical geography), and statistics.

I am like that too. Always been good at drawing 3D objects, figuring out the shape of parts for building the log cabin, reading maps, etc. I'd say the most obvious career with this skill is architecture, design, or video game development, but biochem is a good paying job too. Just make sure that visual models do play a role in real industry (as opposed to high-school classes).

I scored 86%. It was more than I expected, because I was too lazy to study! I was actually reading more fiction than my college books. I did study the subject of my choice, and in a lovely college too. I did my graduation with Geography as main subject. I went on to complete my Masters and Masters in Philosophy( M.Phil) in Regional development and Geopolitics. Education is very important for self development, economic independance, and self reliance, and it builds your career too. I appeared in the Civil Service Exam, and got through. Ultimately, a higher education gets you places. I am working for the last 10 years, and enjoying each moment!
