Hello student ,

Yes , it is a good course as I don't think any other science will provide you as such huge opportunities to engage you in different technologies . It expands your ability to see the world in all the four direction .If you know geology you can see landscape , ocean and see beneath it . Further it offers huge career options like after geology you can move on to the likes of courses such as paleontology , geophysics , mining and so on and through these course you can be geographers , geologist , meteorologist , researchers and many others .

Hope it will help you !

hello,

to be honest, every option can be considered as good option if you have interest in it and it becomes a very good career option for the family members as well if you get placed in some company earning a handsome amount of money .

these things depend on the college that you join, so if you like this subject and have interest in it, go for it, just make sure you choose a good college in your state.

you have not provided your city, else we could help you with some very good colleges for the same.

you may get hired in companies that work under mineral exploration, mineral mining, mining, mineral production, mineral extraction, and many more like these.


hope that helps
