<p>Hello, I am a freshman at the University of Houston, and am currently entering my second semester, and well....I have not yet OFFICIALLY decided what I want to do as far as majors are concerned, but I have narrowed it down significantly, and in the running was a degree in Geology. The program for a BS in Geology requires to take math all the way up to Calculus 3, and I have never been great with math, I can do it but when it is thrown together with other courses that are equally important I just dont feel comfortable taking the risk. The same college also offers a BA in Earth science which takes the same geology courses, but with minimal higher level math (Calculus 1 which I have already taken) and added biology hours at the expense of a few geology courses. But my question is if I were to pursue a degree with a BA in Earth Science could I do the same things I would do with a Geology degree? I have noted there is no field geology class with the Earth Science degree, and if I were to do anything as far as employment I would not mind doing mapping and flied studies, but thats just a preference (and one that is somewhat blind since I have not been in the field regardless) so is it possible? Would I look like a fool if I tried to apply for a job with the National Geologic Survey with a BA in Earth Science? Would I be somewhat more limited in employment choices and opportunities than I would be with a BS in Geology?</p>
