Geoscience undergrad looking for career advice
Third year undergrad working towards BS in geoscience and I’m trying to get a sense of what my options are post graduation in 2027.
So far I have done 2 years of undergraduate research experience with marsh sediments/micropaleontology and presented that research at a conference but realizing it’s not totally my passion. Been figuring out I’m more interested in GIS, remote sensing, and geomorphology through my coursework this past year. Ended up landing an internship this summer with NASA working with atmosphere satellite data (figured I would take it, could be a once in a lifetime opportunity).
Are there realistic careers out there that combine GIS, geomorphology, or remote sensing? I’m assuming masters is necessary. Does anyone recommend working for a few years and then going for masters? Are my only options really in academia? Overall, just looking for any advice on what I could work towards, skills I should become proficient in, etc. Thank you!
