GEOGRAPHY : What is geography? What about a career in geography? Why is Geography as the perfect major for you?
A definition: Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers always ask where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment.
So how do you know if you want to be a geographer? If you are curious to find out if you have an interest in geography, check out the AAG (Association of American Geographers) web site. Go to "Careers in Geography" to find out more about "Geographers at work"...
