jgoo, I work with some geologists, soils engineers, and similar people in the consulting engineering firm I'm employed by.  We also have a subsidiary firm that does field testing for engineering foundations, slope stabilizations, dams, etc.

If you like to get outside in the course of your work, you might want to make a career change.

You think? I'd NEVER be able to make it through the math and physics courses that come with the study of geology though. In math, anything beyond basic algebra and geometry is pretty much over my head, and physics is not exactly my best subject either. I just find it fascinating how the earth moves, and how plate tectonics work (along with everything that comes with that, continental drift, earthquakes, volcanoes, how mountain ranges form, etc) and really like learning about that kind of stuff. But like I said, the math and physics that come with it would kill me. (And as far as science goes, I'm also really into astronomy and the cosmos, as well as most earth sciences such as how lakes and rivers form, how canyons are carved, etc. It's just all so fascinating!!!)
