I went to an alternative college (not a bad one) and kind of beat around a lot of bushes before really finding out that I really want to pursue hydrology. Unfortunately, I really didn't major in anything (that kind of college) though I have taken a lot of cool classes (some geology, physics 1 and 2, calc 1 and 2, stats, hydrogeology, and some independent studies working on some hyrologic models). I am making a groundwater model for my senior thesis and have done some cool research over the summers. Because of a rough start to college, I probably only have a 3.5 or 3.6 cumulative GPA (If I were to have one). Should I start looking into and applying to the programs I am into or start taking the engineering classes I probably should have taken in my undergrad.

I'm not sure which option is right for me. I can either major in geology with an emphasis in geophysics or I can major in applied physics with an emphasis in geophysics. I hope to attend graduate school, but I'm not sure whether I'll do that right after I complete my undergraduate degree.

Can anyone offer any words of wisdom? I'm leaning more toward geology at this point (because the field work and research opportunities sound a lot more exciting), but an applied physics degree seems more practical. I'm just not sure which degree would do a better job preparing me for future work, or whether that even matters.

I'd like a degree that'll open more doors than it closes.

We've all heard it the blowing winds howling through the trees past you etc. Question is Why does it make said noise? It doesn't sound like the bending of branches, movements or other objects or anything like that. (my daughter asked me and by gum i just didn't have an answer....anyone know?)
