Top 5 Questions asked about Geology Degree - MYTHS about Geologists. 

Exactly 😂

Thanks my teacher

Bada bhai konsa ascha hoga. Geology or biochemistry,? Geologist bohut location pe jata h or geo pr muje thoda pasion h. Likin asli m konsa achaa hoga?

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

Thank you so much!!! Your support means a lot.

Hey , can we make a friend , lm 2years , i also love geology ❤

Yo.how is going.. did you find a job?

Did you find a job?

Yey! What type of industry are you thinking to go into?

I agree 👍

Thank you for the idea :) That is an awesome question. I will put it on my list of videos to make. So excited to share my tips :)

If I don't have physics in high school but I have geography can I pursue my degree in geology

@@ardinharminarmin9229 for the most part, whether or not you learn something in high school is pointless. You will probably want some extra help with the physics classes when you get to them but you should be able to do a geology degree without significant prior knowledge assuming you pay attention.

same

Yup, I saw those formulas and thought “in no way is this simple math.”

Hi Black TEA, thank you so much for your comment. I actually started University as a Biology Major and switched to Geology in my second year of school after I took a geology course and loved it. If you interested I have video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-enHh5Wqun7o.html) where I talk a bit more how I became a geologist. As far as work in the future that really depends what country you are from and whether you want to do research or work for a company. If you have any specific questions please DM me on my Instagram @shylamagirl and I will be happy to answer your questions.

@@ShyLama Thank you ♥️

Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that my videos helped you. Geology is a wonderful field. Please keep me updated on your journey of becoming a geologist.

its never too late trust me

yes! there are many ways to work in the geology field. you do not have to love working with computers.

absolutely. you can do so much with geology.

me tooa high school student need answers

I am a Geology student in Canada so I may be able to answer some of your questions or recommend material to read to deepen your understanding and appreciation of Geology. 1) Do I need to write the SAT to get a degree? To my knowledge no, although it may be different for other institutions/programs. However if you plan to get your degree in Canada and then practice in America I imagine you may need to write an SAT to become certified. 2) The best advice I can give for attracting attention from a university regarding geology would be to perhaps attend some sort of Geology camp or something of that nature. It would be hard to find employment in the field of Geology without a degree because, much like engineering, there is an accountability requirement. No employer is going to hire someone without accountability because if a geologist provides inaccurate data to a geological engineer then dams are going to collapse and that is bad. Best advice I can give is to find a deep appreciation for Geology. 3) In my experience, high schools rarely offer courses teaching the basics of Geology so it is a good thing that you want to read to understand more. That being said, Geology isn't, in my experience, as mainstream as fields like Chemistry Physics or Biology so finding literature that caters to the layman is somewhat difficult. The best thing that I can recommend for beginner literature is "Environmental Geology (2nd Edition). This textbook approaches most aspects of Earths geology as a collection of interconnected systems. A very good read to put everything into perspective. You should be able to find pdfs of this textbook online. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

As if you actually just asked that...

@@hughjackson218why not? She’s advocating openly for a specific career path. She doesn’t have to answer but to ask is not rude when you make yourself a public representative.

@@evaphillips2102 Common courtesy isn't all that common it seems.

im planning to go into mining geology next year, cant wait

It's good as well

it depends upon which country you want to work on. different countries have different demand of various geologist

@@potatogamer9127 if AUS, US, UK, GERMANY?.

Same here Harsha , I am a Geology UG from India

Same here Harsha, I am Geology undergraduate from india

Nothing

Nasa needs physics degrees

@@extrawagant I didn't say that if u have a physics degree youll get in

@@extrawagant im mean they dont take every person that has one

But umm NASA were telling that they really need GEOLOGIST to study and find more info on the soil and rock formation and if any fossils at Mars so they needed GEOLOGIST for that purpose

I am in Canada :)

Yes it is.

I’m from the uk and you don’t need to have done A level physics (from my experience) to do geology. I’ve done Chemistry and biology and was still offered places. From what I’ve seen you just need to have done 2 sciences. But this is just what I’ve seen being in the UK.

@@zoe._.1850 This is correct! Maths tends to be the only thing required across the board for any geology course. Then just one of the other sciences (preferably chem or phys).

yes, but depending on what type of geology you prefer, you don’t have to use it a lot.

Having done my bachelor's degree in Geology and currently studying a master's in Exploration Geology, I wouldn't say that physics is required; usually, you would be taught the necessary physics fields to be able to apply that. That's not to say preliminary knowledge wouldn't help though. In my experience, Geology is more Chemistry focused, especially whilst studying my master's.

You'll have to take a Bachelors degree on Geology, is unfortunately not a posgrad :(

yes, but you’d need to get a degree in geology (BS preferably). i went from humanities to science- it’s possible.

Not really. They have the same core skillset but geophysicists deal with the maths and software side behind exploration :)

Dude you can't avoid maths 😂😂

No, im a junior geology student in university. I had to take chemistry, calculus 1-3 and physics. Maybe consider environmental sciences (BA), I think you only require pre-calculus for that.

@@cutieboy930 ok man thank you

@@cutieboy930I am taking those classes rn but honestly I am just passing them. It feels like I cannot really apply the knowledge. Do you use it a lot in the field?
