<p>Does the Geography program at the college near your home give you the opportunity to go in the Physical/Science direction (as opposed to the Social/Arts direction)? That would be a better route to Environmental work in general.</p>
<p>A Geography degree can allow you to develop excellent GIS-type skills, which are often very useful in Environmental work. I work with a few Geography majors in my public sector Env. Scientist job. And they perform a mix of field and office work.</p>
<p>I took a quick look at the Environmental Geosciences degree curriculum. It looks like you have some flexibility as to which direction (Geology, Ecology, Hydrology) you would like pursue. Is there a particular area/line of work that interests you? </p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure what you mean when you say not “TOO” technical but involves field work, though you could probably find work somewhere with my present interpretation of that. But field work that isn’t too technical often becomes routine and boring, at least IMO.</p>
