Geography
A spatial and environmental social-science path — GIS-adjacent research, education, planning support, and development fieldwork.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Geography students undersell spatial skills or oversell GIS certificates without projects. Education, environmental documentation, survey research, and planning-support roles hire map-literate communicators. Show a mapped mini-project or field report. Don't let "arts vs science" campus politics stop you from building one spatial artifact. Campus and early-career screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists.
