[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm actually more interested in these type of postings-career oriented-so i can learn something about another field that is much more interested than the I am a SAHM or SAHD. Or I am rich, AMA. [/quote] I wish the job prospects were better. People do this for the love of science, not for the money. With that said, I sold out and make more than most seismologists. The primary industry for geophysics is Oil: Oil exploration largely depends on geophysics to identify potential reservoirs. But, with the low price of oil, they are laying people off, not hiring. Other than Oil, the employers are USGS, Universities, National Labs, DoD & Contractors. There is some work funded by over companies (Nuclear) and the NRC. But, overall, not great. The total number of non-oil seismologists is probably on the order of 500 in the US.[/quote]
