Many sismologists have a geology or geophysics degree. Some are geographers because of the mapping skills associated. Some have mathematics degrees because of those all-important skills. Some colleges have a catch-all called earth sciences and you will see some of those in the seismic labs too. Geophysics is probably the preeminent field of study, but that depends on what application you have for the study. Seismology has its utility. Folks with responsibility for buildings, roads, and bridges will have some needs that are different from those watching for hints of the earth's interior and scrutinize and time the wave signatures from various seismometers. The geologist will be one called upon to watch for indications of previous quakes and faults to give a historical sense to current observations. They all have their place and purpose.

He needs to be grounded in the classics and have an unshakable faith in his education. Other than that, I guess he needs good shoes.
