Depending on a student’s specialization, geology graduates may pursue careers in a wide range of fields, including the growing fields of environmental and engineering geology, petroleum and mineral exploration and production, consulting on dams and other infrastructure projects, teaching or government work, or an eventual career in environmental law. Most of these choices require postgraduate study, but an undergraduate degree could still lead to a career in environmental advocacy, soil and water conservation, policy analysis, surveying or science journalism.UBC has a good careers page with links:
