Geographers are employed in a variety of fields. Most physical geographers are employed in planning, government, and education, where they hold positions in climatology, natural resource management, conservation, geographic information systems, parks planning, terrain analysis, remote sensing, and environmental consulting. Geological surveying companies, mining and oil companies, environmental consulting, and environmental protection firms will also hire geographers.
Human geographers are employed in tourism, community planning, government, market research analysis, transportation planning, recreational programming, and urban planning. They can also work in environmental services, international development, and social services. They can also hold positions in emergency management where their knowledge of hazard maps, demographic data, and GIS are helpful in mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery from disasters.
A degree in geography also provides a suitable background for those interested in teaching, law, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and business.
