I am majoring in Geography with an emphasis in Geology and an Urban Development minor from UW Whitewater, just wondering the career possibilities with this degree.
I was a business major, but decided to change to geography and geology because I have always been more interested in that than in business and math, though I am good at math.  An figured that I would do better in school learning something that I find interested than in something that I find boring, and that makes school and homework feel like a chore.
