Geology can take you into careers in the oil industry, disaster management, earthquake science, fossils and earth's history. BS is a good start but a Master's degree will be worth more to your career.

Agree with the two previous posters. Geology = specialization, and the B.S. is now equivalent to a HS diploma. You need the M.S. both the the depth of knowledge and" promotatbility."
