| In the energy industry there i smassive 'hand wringing' over the shortage of geologists as us older guys (me at 50) start to retire in the next few years.
I will try and post some links later. As to math, In a degree program you are going to have to do some math--Calculus seems to be the area. It really isnt that necessary as to the practice of Geology --geometry, trig ---very very basic are more needed .. The math in the degree programs is primarily a hurdle--hazing if you will
I dont know how competitive the grad programs are--but I would think you should be able to get into a solid grad program with a 3+GPA and solid work in the major from a repectable school like UH. IF you are looking at working in industry stay in the texas and surroudning areas-UT, A&M, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Col Sch Mines, Okla State ... prob in about that order.... for grad school. (Col SCh mines, would be higher, but prob most difficult to get into)
Like I say, if UH is working for you, a BS from there and a MS from one of these schools should be a good ticket (also grad school can be financed by TA , summer work) |
