hav got a BSc in Geology.and im kinda ambivalent on a course 2 foda in...hav bin finking of an MSc.Geophysics,but da challenge is wt if i dont secure a job in da oil industry?does it mean i'll be irrelevant?or perhaps i cld go 4 an MSC.in Environmental management?so dat i may not be particularly restricted 2 da oil sector..Dis are my concerns really ...Fanks 4 ur anticipated Intellectual &Educative responses.
If you are considering getting an MSc in Environmental Management for the sole reason of versatility, I strongly recommend that you thoroughly research the course content and ensure that it is interdisciplinary before taking any further action otherwise you may just end up as restricted as you would be with an MSc in Geophysics. Universities have a way of colourfully advertising and exaggerating their courses so I'd advice you look beyond their websites and prospectus.
I have an MSc in Environmental Management from a top UK university and even though I'm better off for it, I must admit that the outcome turned out to be way less than I had anticipated before I joined the course. This is because in my opinion, there were certain missing elements in the course which makes me feel a little bit less confident in my versatility. But then again, that's just my opinion.
Goodluck and I wish you all the best.
@tahaj:Fanks alot i gotta"Think outside the box"then...u are off da hook man!!
If you have an oppurtunity to study Geophysics in the UK, go for it. It is better and i assure you wont regret it. It is lucrative out there. you can apply geophysics in all aspect of sciences. , Engineering and envronmental geophysics, hydro/water, hydrocarbon, Solid minerals. etc. environmental is restricted. if you want to get your PH.D then specialise in environmental area.
All the best
