My BS program at UCLA is about to be disolved. Geology programs all over the country are loosing students dispite the skyrocketing job market. This is an increasingly dangerous problem. How can we get more people to become geologists?

My idea: more earth science in secondary education, especially high school! That's why I'm studying to be a science teacher!
