In your opinion, what is a more worthwhile or better/useful major: Geology or Environmental science?

My husband has an environmental science degree and he never worked ONE day in the field, he got a job in the bank and has never looked back, he's an Irish MD in a global bank now and aiming for European Head.. and further afield. I think it doesn't matter what your degree is, having one just proves you can put your head down and work and learn, get a degree in anything you can for now and find your way later..

Envoironmental science.. because it incorporates geology.. and therefore has wider value in terms of getting a job.

Environmental Science sounds really vague, but with the political climate, it would probably be one of those trendy degrees that companies will look to hire in the near future.

But I know a few people who took geology and made big money with industrial companies, like mining and gas extraction, and I think at least one construction company.

They both are of value. If you are choosing between the two to study, you must consider your personal choice on the end result you wish to achieve.

It depends on what you want to do. My dad is a geologist and has one of the coolest jobs ever. What are your interests and goals?

Environmental science and then a post graduate diploma in public health.

Become an Environmental Health officer and spend the rest of your life working and traveling overseas

Geology seems to have more room for advancement from what I’ve seen. They kinda work at a similar capacity where I’m at but the geologists can work several more areas. Plus when you get your PG you have a lot more options.

With geology you could be hired to find oil to frack. Environmental Science majors do what? I would go for Geology. Besides plate tectonics is cool..

My friend has a degree in geology and palaeontology, loves it! Travels and does lab work, she says it was the best thing she ever did.

Environmental science?

Environmental science

Both sound relevant right now.

thyre both fuckin useless
