The skills you use in your geographical studies make you
of potential interest to a wide range of employers. The close link between the
subject and the world around us makes for a long and varied list of related
careers for example working with development or aid agencies, environmental
work, using Geographical Information Systems, working for the census office and
in tourism and recreation. However most of these areas involve only one part of
the broad subject of Geography.
Statistics show that compared with other subjects,
Geographers are among the most employable. Many of those leaving university
with a Geography degree enter three fields of employment: administration and
management; marketing or finance. Other areas looking for students will a
global lens are various Non-Governmental Agencies and Aid Agencies, local,
provincial and federal governments, CSIS, the United Nations and the military
(logistics). This is presumably because Geographers possess the abilities and
skills that employers look for.
