<p>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. </p>
<p>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</p>
<p>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)</p>
<p>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)</p>
