Geology Students Are The Happiest On College Campus Study Finds

Geology students are the happiest with their degrees according to the National Student Survey, which polls university students across UK colleges and universities for satisfaction in their school and their major. An impressive 95% of geologists out of 220,000 polled said they were satisfied with their major, the highest of any other sampled. On the flip side, photography majors admitted only 67% were happy with their major.

Below I will outline the top 10 reasons I believe geology students rank as the happiest students at college. From intellectual curiosity, to rugged field trips, to good career options, there are a lot of upsides to pursuing a career in geology.

1. Geology allows you to pursue your curiosity about the world around us. You can get answers that inform on the world around us, such as why are there white sand beaches, how do volcanoes form, what controls our climate, how to the oceans work, etc.

2. One of the best parts about being a geologist are the field trips. As a geology major in college you will visit outcrops of rock, camp in the wilderness, and hike for hours all in the name of science. If this sounds like a good way to earn college credit, or get paid for when in your career, you should probably consider geology.

3. Geology can take you around the world. There is a need for geologists around the world and often times a geologist’s field site is in another state, country, or continent. You will have the opportunity to travel and meet fellow scientists from different walks of life.
