Geoscientists study how rocks, water, air, space, and life interact with each other to understand how the global system works. What they learn increases our sense of wonder, encourages us to ask new questions, and allows us to make wise use of Earth's many resources. Geoscientists welcome YOU to join them in these efforts! There are all sorts of jobs in the geosciences - in schools and universities, government agencies, small and large business organizations, corporations, non-profit organizations, and the news media. Computer and technology specialists who assist geoscientists are in high demand. For now, take all of the math, science and computer classes that you can, but also sharpen those language skills so that you can communicate what you learn. Finally, explore further the many fascinating subjects of the geosciences. Look for a career that really grabs you, and also allows you to make a difference!
