Many students often ask their Geography teacher, "Sir/Miss, What can I do with Geography? What kind of job I get if I take Geography for College/University? A teacher? Is there anything else?" Interesting questions. I think at the beginning, Geography teacher should open up their mind about how fun being Geographer. Being a teacher is one of the greatest fun. However, Geography had a lot of opportunities to offer. That's why, you can see the video that I link: What can I do with Geography: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mj8MTWZX4M] Here are also some pictures that show how relevant and dynamic being a geographer for your future career! Also, according to www.geography.org.uk/resources/careers, There are very unique and challenging calling as Geographer! Interested in Global Issues? - Aid Worker - Charity Fundraiser - Charity Officer - Civil Servant for DFID (Department for International Development) - Armed Forces - HIV Education Officer - Human Rights Officer - International Charity Fundraising - Refugee and Asylum Adviser - Economic Adviser and Analyst - United Nations Terrorism Prevention Officer - Diplomat - British Council Cultural Exchange Worker - VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) Moreover,  The Royal Geography Society add up: * Conservation worker * Coastal engineer * Economic adviser and analyst * Military mapping specialist * Aid worker * Flood protection manager * Market research analyst * Housing manager * Remote sensing analyst * Urban regeneration officer * Local government services * Estate agent * Town planner * Transport officer * Construction/property lawyer * Environmental consultant * Teacher * Youth and community worker * Emergency services manager * FE or university lecturer * Museum curator * Health education campaigner * Advertising executive * Human resources officer * Public policy research * Marketing * Public Relations * Geographical Information Systems * Census data specialist * Location analyst * Expedition leader * Cartographer * Surveyor * Geomatics software designer * CAD technician * Environmental campaigner * Environmental officer * Landscape architect * Pollution analyst * Cycle route planner * Recycling officer * Forestry manager * Environmental warden * Soil conservationist * Hydrologist * Earth scientist * Risk assessor * Weather presenter * Water supply coordinator * Travel agent * Exhibitions coordinator * Leisure centre management * Heritage site manager * Eco-tour guide * Local government officer * Tourist information officer * Visit London guide * Travel writer * TV researcher * Holiday representative * Cultural arts officer London 2012 * Financial risk assessor * Banking * Accountancy * Transport/logistics manager * Insurance * Retail management * Management consultant * Commercial sales * Lawyer * Buyer * Charity fundraiser * Charity officer * Armed forces * HIV education officer * Human rights officer * Refugee and asylum adviser * Diplomat * British cultural exchange manager * Voluntary service overseas * ‘GAP’ project worker * UN terrorism prevention officer * Environment impact officer * Hazard prediction * Civil servant – in different areas * Financial service * Urban planner for sustainability Finally, I believe there are so many more challenging, inspiring, and cool profession for Geographer. To make Geography make fun and relevant, I believe this information is very significant to enrich their motivation to learn, encourage their courage to make a difference, and empower them to make it happen. This is the time when the teacher should open up the relevancy of what students learn in class with their future. I already did it just a bit in Geography. How about the other lessons or YOUR lesson?
