How absolutely fucked would I be if I transferred schools and switched my major from environmental science to environmental studies? Right now my end goal is to graduate, work for 2-3 years, and then go back and get my master's in geology. Would I be ill-prepared to do that with an environmental studies degree? Would I be able to land the same type of job after college?
I'm a first year and I hate where I'm at right now so I'm going to transfer no matter what. I've been searching for colleges for 2 years and I'm so tired of this shit.
Every college is either:
A. doesn't offer environmental science / geology
B. In the absolute ghetto-est part of the city
C. In the middle of bumfuck nowhere
D. 1000 miles away from my family
What do? The college that offers environmental studies has everything else I want.

Go for environmental studies.
Also, environments are a spook. An illusory product of boundaries arbitrarily drawn when a system is abstracted. Keep it in mind.

well, your choice in degree is shit. both are a waste of time. considering the lack of rigor in your field, you can probably major in either and no one will bat an eyelash.
if you're gonna get a shit degree, then just go where ever makes you feel better and costs not too much

Try earth system science instead

You're going to have to elaborate more than >hur durr it's shit. Environmental science seems infinitely more useful than something like mathematics.
>Try earth system science instead
I'll look into it. Is there another name for it? The college search site I've been using doesn't recognize it. If not, it seems more limited availability-wise than what I'm looking into now.

i did my Bachelor's in math and I work as an electrical engineer now. If by useful you mean employable, math beats many other degrees. i also worked as an accountant and a tutor before working as an engineer. never once has my employer asked me to justify my generalized math degree over whatever specifics my coworkers had.

This is why you will end up applying ecology without understanding it. Corporations will use you as a way to fake sustainability, and you will be aware of this fact and nonetheless still have to take the job to survive.
