Jobs

Even as I have been writing this blog, I have always wondered what kind of jobs are available in this field. In one of my human geography classes, the prof gave out a pamphlet called "Map Your Future" from the Michigan State University Department of Geography.In the pamphlet, there is a list of careers that MSU geography majors have discovered. The list includes:

  • Environmental Consultant
  • Public School Teacher
  • Purchasing/Logistics Manager
  • Economic Location Analyst
  • Natural Historian
  • GIS Analyst
  • Forestry Technician
  • Strategic Planning
  • Earth Scientist
  • National Geospatial Intelligence Agency
  • Aerial Photo Interpreter
  • Remote Sensing Specialist, CIA
  • Cartographer
  • Surface Water Analyst
  • Climatologist
  • Urban Planner
  • Planning Coordinator
  • Land Management
  • Weather forecaster/meteorologist
  • Real Estate Agent
  • Remote Sensing Specialist
  • GIS Specialist
  • Battalion Maintenance Officer
  • Computer Mapping Specialist
  • Air/Water Quality Control Manager
  • Soil Conservationist
  • Secondary Education Teacher in Tanzania
  • Systems Librarian
  • Physical Scientist
  • Michigan Department of Natural Resources Specialist
  • Land, Community, Industrial, or Tourism Developer
  • Transportation Modeler
Now from reading this, I, and hopefully my readers, also have a better understanding of the opportunities this field has.

  1. I agree with Sonali. I had no clue that there were so many different jobs in the geography field. There are so many options. I think that would be a great major to have. Nice post!
