Geography
Geography studies
the interaction between human societies and their environments.
Geography looks at the spatial connection between people, places, and
the earth.
Physical Geography
studies everything from weather to earthquakes; glaciers to maps; and
landforms to seasons. Deciding what to wear each day to where you decide
to live is influenced by Physical Geography.
World Regional Geogaphy
looks at people and cultures and how the environment influences them and
how they influence their environment.
Unfortunately, the
job title of "geographer" is not often found in companies or
government agencies (with the most notable exception of the U.S. Census
Bureau). However, more and more companies are recognizing the skill that
a geographically-trained individual brings to the table. You'll find many
geographers working as urban planners, cartographers (map makers), GIS
specialists, transportation management, environmental management,
demographer, real estate
appraisal, national park ranger analysis, scientists, researchers, and
many other positions. You'll also find many geographers working as instructors,
professors, and researchers at schools, colleges, and universities.
