<p>I am a professional geologist in Texas, worked for 25 years in the Energy Industry. </p>

<p>Demand in the Petroleum industry is huge right now for Geologists and Geophysicists.</p>

<p>Employment for Geologists: Largest- Petroleum Industry (both oil and natural gas) --High demand right now, salaries are high (MS starting abt $70-$80K), you should expect to get a Masters. </p>

<p>I personally know Geologists working in 'Engineering Geology" in California assessing risks of earthquakes, flooding, landslides. Also "Environmental Geolgoists" working on site evaluations for cleanup and prevention of WAste and toxics. </p>

<p>Thats a brief-- I love the profession and science --most people do -- ask some questions and I will try to answer</p>
