I am in my first semester of my freshman year and I am interested in getting a BS in Geology-Geophysics. How employable is this degree with just a bachelors? Would I need a masters to get a job as a geologist? Would getting a BS in Geology-Geophysics and a Minor in Structural Engineering make me more employable? Or should I just stick to getting a Engineering Degree. What can I expect with a Geology-Geophysics Degree? I’m trying to get information so I can start picking classes for next semester. Thank-you
Just look at what employers are seeking – they usually say it right in their job ads. Here’s a start:

i don’t think a minor in structural engineering will do any good because you can’t register as a professional engineering with a minor, so they will hire a civil engineer to those jobs. geology is good. work for cities, mines, petroleum, consulting firms. look into geotechnical engineering, a lot of the same classes.
