Need some advice

Featured Replies

Hello everyone, I would like some advice and opinions on a question.   I am in school for an environmental geoscience degree.  I have to pick and emphasis and these are my three options.  Ecology, GIS, and Physical Science.   The school recommends Physical Science saying students need it to pursue a Masters.   But I think any of them will allow you to go after a Masters Degree. I think enjoy ecology but I believe the Job market just doesnt exist.  I believe there would be more jobs with a GIS background.  So Should I go GIS  or do Physical science to make sure I can get into a Masters Program? 

What does the physical sciences part cover?

I've just been the industrial supervisor for someone doing a GIS masters so programs do exist. It's an interesting field with some potential in the growing world of data science.
