I am aware that the job growth for this career is pretty good, but I want to know if it is even worth going into as opposed to being a PC Technician. THANKS! Oh right. I meant off-shoring. THANKS! :D

Okay so im going to be a civil engineering apprentice in the air force and was wondering if the duties involved would set me up for a six figure paying job here is the description You will perform duties as an engineering technician, requiring knowledge and applications of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Your duties will include construction surveying using conventional, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and automated survey instruments for military construction to include project mapping operations, construction support surveys, road operations, road construction and building and utilities layout surveys.

What are the differences other than the obvious? if you can land a good job out of of college is the national guard a good gig? i'm working on my degree in geography with a concentration in GIS. (GIS jobs typically pay about $55k~85k depending on where you work, exp,etc.) basically i'd make more money if i went the guard route, but would not experience that full army life.however could still get deployed and i guess that counts. but active guard for officers are like...less than 1?r something. and in active i'd get the whole experience. i want help choosing now because if i know i want to go national guard i can get a scholarship at this time. if i really want to go active, then i need to compete with the other cadets for an active slot, and especially an MI branch slot. for NG, i just have to find an MI unit and have them accept me. also, if i want to do something specific with MI (imagery) should i pick just any MI unit or the one that deals with battlefield surveillance? i ask because someone told me it doesn't matter what you pick specifically, as long as it's in the Military Intelligence branch, because you're an officer you don't really get to pick what job in the branch you want, and you dont do much of the technical stuff anyway. is that true? Bo jangles, what did you branch in? I didn't know the engineer branch used it more than MI. and I can see how field artillery would use it (always has been a lingering choice), but would I be doing much of it as an field artillery OFFICER? I'd really like to get good job training to further my career later on in life. MAJ kev, yes that does seem to be the determining question right there. what is most important. I was just wondering because of the two MI units here. The one I'm currently drilling with is a linguistics one that deals with interpreters, translators, counter-intelligence, interrogation, and signals intelligence. and then the one in southern california is listed as battlefield surveillance brigade that deals with interrogation, counterint, and long range surveillance. But after reading bo jangles answer i might consider a different branch altogether. ***----> Do I need to have an engineering degree to get into the engineering branch as an officer?

Im about to start a degree in geology in a college in Australia . Its a 3 year bachelor degree in science. And Im also going to do my masters in Geology and hopefully to my phd in the far future. Is a 3 year degree enough to become a geologist or do I need to do another year after that (honors)? And I'm also planning on going back to America to do my masters (i was there before and i went to high school there in chicago) And what kind of jobs are available for me with a masters degree and what is the average salary or starting salary? (and i dont want to be a teacher or lecturer) i would love to go into paleontology, but i heard there isnt much money in that.
