<p>Im not sure if I can help you much but what I can say is that my father is the state geologist (1 of 50) and attended University of Houston–where I believe is where he got his degree in Geology. </p>
<p>Now I’m not sure if you ever want to try and reach the rank of state geologist so I can only offer a job outlook in that department and annual salary for him is $112k. Good luck and I hope someone can better answer your question.</p>
