Geology is the study of the Earth and the interaction of various Earth processes. There are a number of sub fields in geology such as:
Hydrogeology
Environmental Geology
Structural Geology
Engineering Geology
Paleontology
Geophysics
Geochemistry
Glaciology
Geo-Hazards
Mineralogy
Petrology
Seismology
Volcanology
Job opportunities in geology-related fields include:
Science teacher
Geological scientist
Field geologist
Environmental geologist
Hydrogeologist
Engineering geologist
Field inspector
Structural geologist
Petroleum geologist
Seismologist
Volcanologist
Paleontologist
Geophysicist
The list goes on. You will need a minimum of a bachelor's degree in one of the aforementioned geology-related fields and preferably a master's degree. To teach at the college/university level, it is recommended that you acquire a doctorate.
I hope this helps!

i do no longer actual have faith in sin or Christianity, yet i think of that Geology gets a bye on being a sinful technology because of the fact the Christians lay the age of the Earth/Universe/Multiverse on the particle physicists and abiogenesis and evolution on the biologists.

A lot of people go into grade school science teaching, or do grad work to teach on the college level. Some go to work the USGS, and lots work for the oil and mining industries.

You can teach, or you can make a bundle working for the oil and gas industry.
