1 What Can I Do With A Major In Earth Science? Compiled by the staff at the SUNY Oneonta Career Development Center Introduction Earth Science is the study of the earth, past, present, and future. The study of Earth Science recognizes that the planet is affected by its natural processes and the way in which humanity uses and exploits its natural resources and environment. Earth Science majors are employed across the whole spectrum of earth science work in general and geological work in particular. Functional Skill Set for Earth Science Majors Managing time Speaking Listening Writing Observing Photos Sketching Graphing Gathering resources Mapping Collecting Traveling Hiking Use computers to display and analyze data Ability to Visualize Ability to make decisions from incomplete data Aptitude for accuracy and detail. Ability to conduct and clearly explain scientific research. Thorough knowledge of geological principles and mathematics. Transferable skills and personal traits: interpersonal skills, team player, creative thinker, independent worker, interested in getting advanced training and degrees, analytical and research skills, written communication skills, perseverance, stamina, ability to visualize.
