<p>I am a geologist working in the energy industry in Houston. 25 year ‘veteran’. BSc from texas tech, MS from A&M. worked in Calif, Alaska, Russia, Middle East, Texas.
I wouldn trade it. IF you have an interest in Geology, demand is high right now. Starting salaries are in industry about 75-80$k, but as important to most geologists is that they do enjoy there work …
Expect to get your masters… not an absolute, but many many doors will open if you do. A suggestion, if UH is working for you, get your BS then go to UT or A&M for grad school… by working I mean are you comfortable, finances etc…</p>
