Geographers generally find employment as cartographers, city/regional planners, conservationists, environmental managers, environmental regulators, Geographic Information System (GIS) specialists, historic preservationists, location analysts, and as physical scientists working for the government. In addition, with the diversity of their liberal arts training, geographers also qualify for professional management positions as well as more traditional work as teachers.
