Geoscientists have good jobprospects (data from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
“Median annual earnings of geoscientists were $68,730in May 2004.” In 2005, the average federal salary forhydrologists was $77,182.
“…beginning salary offers in July 2005 for graduateswith bachelor’s degrees in geology and related sciencesaveraged $39,365 a year.”
“…due to the relatively low number of qualifiedgeoscience graduates and the large number of expectedretirements, opportunities are expected to be good inmost areas of geoscience.”
