#4 Current Major and Career Goals (freewrite, 10 minutes

My current major is Bachelor of Science in Earth Science. However, I am trying to narrow it down with a specific concentration in atmospheric science, earth processes or geology. There is a broad spectrum of field that I can get into with a geology degree. With those types of concentration it is best to go on for your masters or PhD. As I have mentioned in all my free writes, I have a passion for the outdoors so I need to narrow it down to what I really really want to do. I am thinking fluvial or glacier geomorphologist, hydrologist, and perhaps atmospheric scientist. It is a complete 180º turn from being finance major. I am thinking of getting into fluvial or glacier geomorphology because it deals with mountains, glaciers, snow, and meandering rivers and streams that comes from mountain ranges. If I go the route of being an atmospheric scientist, I would probably end up doing climatology studying climate change. It will take me a while to get these degrees but I am determined to do it. After obtaining any one of these bachelor degrees, I would like to get an internship and try to get my foot in the door to make a name of myself. After years of experience, I may go back for my masters to study a specific field of interest. It is almost impossible to see where I will be in 5, 10, 15 years down the road because life tend to happen and get the best of us. If I had to guess or day dream, I would like to see myself working for USGS (United States Geological Survey), NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NWS (National Weather Service). With my expertise and dedicated in my field, I hope to make a difference in this world for the better so that our future generation can enjoy the miracles of earth.
