Geophysics as in mineral exploration ?

The job prospects from my understand in exploration and geology are going to be highly cyclical. If the job of a geophysicist is anything like that of a geologist I would suggest you have a talk with one. Exploration is not you typical 9-5 job, it really becomes your life and that life can be very tough. But you will get to see a lot of exceptional things if you are luck that most of us won't even dream of.
