Geologists can find work in a variety of settings. Geologists employed in the private sector explore for and develop new sources of minerals, petroleum construction materials, and groundwater. They can also work as consultants to mining and oil industries, where they survey land for possible use and outline safety dangers of the terrain.
Geologists can consult for various government agencies on environmental impacts of human activities such as building dams, hydro right-of-ways, and highways. Geologists are also employed by governments (eg. Geological Survey of Canada) to do surveys, create maps, and do other explorations.
Geologists can work in concert with construction corporations, building engineers, and seismologists. By identifying the type of bedrock at building sites, vital information about the weight capacity and structural safety of new buildings can be obtained.
Geologists can also work in a post-secondary environment or museum where they teach, do research, and write scholarly publications. Many geologists do field work at least part of the time. Secondary schools also employ geologists (with an additional B.Ed) to teach geology or earth science to high school students.
A previous geology degree can be useful when pursuing a law degree, where knowledge of geology is an asset for disputes involving minerals, petroleum, mining, environmental effects, and law-of-the-sea. Business students who wish to specialize in the natural resource industries will also find a previous geology degree helpful.
