Earth and Enviormental Studies Major

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around various individuals seeking guidance on their career paths in environmental sciences, engineering, and education. One participant, graduating with a B.S. in Earth and Environmental Studies, plans to teach in a high-need area while pursuing a master's in education, questioning the necessity of a PhD for teaching at the college level. Another contributor is considering a master's in hydrology, weighing the benefits of a second bachelor's in civil engineering, while seeking advice on job prospects in hydrology. A third participant has been accepted into two universities but faces financial constraints, expressing a preference for chemical engineering but contemplating agricultural chemistry instead. They seek information on job opportunities and coursework related to agricultural chemistry. Lastly, an individual with a BSc in Mining, now working as a quantity surveyor, wishes to transition to a master's in geophysics and is concerned about job prospects without relevant experience.

I was just wondering peoples opinion on my career goals and see if anyone has any ideas.

I will be graduating next summer with a B.S. in Earth and Enviornmental Stuides with a concentration in Earth Science with a minor in Physical Science.

I'm going to go into teaching in a high need area that will pay for most of my masters in education.

I'm happy to work in high school or a middle school but would one day like to be a profeessor - adjunct or part time. Now do I absolutely need a Phd/Edd to teach at that level?

Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

Anyone have any experience with Hydrology? I am considering a Masters program in it after a long hiatus from school. Seems like interesting work if you get in with the right firm. Job prospects? Challenging/Interesting? Long-Term Outlook?

A friend said to go for 2nd Bachelor's in CivEng while focusing on Hydrology. This adds 2 years to my plan (assuming I can get into the masters program now). Hydrology is quite a narrow field to focus on in comparison to CivEng, but I can see some advantages to that. I need goals and a job I like, I hope someone has some advice for me. Thanks.
 
Hello guys! :)

I am having problems with the course I am taking up for college. The college entrance exam results have been announced for the universities where I took the test (I tried 2 universities) and I am so glad that I passed both of them. (Chemical Engineering on the first university and Agricultural Chemistry on the second)

I am more interested in Chemical Engineering, and it is really what I wanted to pursue but we just don't have enough money to go into that college. :( On the other hand, I've been thinking about pursuing Agricultural Chemistry since that is the only college program I'd be able to run into. I don't want to shift courses because when I start something, I want to finish it. And besides, I won't just pick Agricultural Chemistry when I filled up the form for admission test if I hate it.

So, as I begin to embrace Agricultural Chemistry, I want to ask some guidance from you guys here. :)

What are the jobs waiting for me(of course salary ^_^), the classes (subjects like Chemistry, Calculus, etc.) and anything I need to know before I enter the world of Agricultural Chemistry?

I don't hate Chemistry that much and I am also interested in food production.

Thanks in advance for your replies! :)
 
Hi,

I have completed a Bsc Engineering in Mining and due to the financial difficulties at that time i came Dubai as a Quantity Surveyor and worked here for 4 years. Now i want to change my carrier and want to do a Msc in geophysics as always i wanted.
Is is possible to have a Msc in the field of geophysics without a related working experience

If i finished my Msc will it be a problem to have job since i don't have a Experience in the related field of Msc.

Any one can give me a guidance will be highly appreciated!


Thanks

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
