Geography

In another life I would have been a geographer. Someone out there with diagrams and a computer and a video camera, chasing tornadoes and traveling to the core of the earth. I would read weather signs in the wind. Me, a team, a map and a whole lot of data recording equipment.

Resarchers, Masters and PhDs go out there. The other options are either you work for the government, as an environmental scientist, which sounds cool, or, you take the better paid position of being the environmental person that consults with construction companies and other private companies that want to build over the land and effectively destroy it, as long as you can give them the go ahead, and tell them where the drainage areas are so their buildings don't flood.
