Alot of jobs do need geographical analysis in them, one just needs to know where to look because many of these jobs do not have “geographer” in their title. Jobs dealing with marketing, resource management, planning, and customer analysis all require the ability to process spatial data.
I am doing M.A in geography ,I m in search of job ,

Hello Matt,

Thanks and Regards,

Good luck finding those jobs. I’ve been on the market for 5 years with an M.S. in Geography, and all I can find is part-time work. I’m sure there are several jobs for GIS and GIT people, but I’m a cutural geographer and prospects are slim unless one has a Ph.D… Reason #1 why I’m going back.
Alot of times people who go on for Masters or Ph.D. in geography will study some very small niche which is barely geographical in the first place. Students need to realize their academic career including their research subject are their resume. Wanting to study “Organizing Research and Resistance” (randomly taken from the Socialist and Critical Geographers webpage) might be all well and good in the weird world of academia but it won’t get you a job in the real world.
I have a masters inGeography from Delhi University , an M.Ed from Mumbai University and also MA in Distance Education., besides a NCERT awardee in India (Highest recognition for teachers in Innovation in research and Teaching)
I would like to know if any field I can opt to do further research
I have brought a CD on GeograpHy(LEARNING GEOGRAPHY IS FUN).
you can suggest some good opening to further my quest for the subject.
sir, i am very greatful for this type of information. i am a BSc holder in the field of geography. fully understood most of the theories involved in planning community development,again did some internship programs on urban development and housing but could not have a job even at the level of the civil society. does it means that at this level one can not have work?
what of BSc holders?
