Hello Rohit,
Urban Planner/Community Development:
Geography is a natural tie-in with urban or city planning. City planners work on zoning, land use and new developments, from a gas station renovation to the development of whole new sections of urban area.
You'll work with individual property owners, developers, and other officials. If you're interested in this area, be sure to take urban geography and urban planning classes. An internship with a city planning agency is essential experience for this type of work.
Cartographer:
For those with cartography course backgrounds may enjoy work as a cartographer. The news media, book publishers, atlas publishers, government agencies and others are looking for cartographers to help produce maps. This would likely require relocation.
GIS Specialist:
City governments, county agencies, and other government agencies and private groups are often in need of experienced GIS professionals. Coursework and internships in GIS are especially important. Computer programming or engineering skills are very helpful in this arena - the more about computers and languages you know, the better off you are.
Climatologist:
Agencies like the National Weather Service, news media, the Weather Channel, and other government entities occasionally need climatologist. Admittedly, these jobs usually go to those with meteorology degrees, a geographer with experience and vast coursework in meteorology and climatology would definitely be an asset.
Transportation management:
Like urban and city planning, there are opportunities in local government but regional transit authorities or shipping, logistics, and transportation companies look kindly to someone with transportation geography in their background and good computer and analytical skills.
Environmental Management:
A plethora of environmental assessment, cleanup, and management companies exist throughout the world today. A geographer brings excellent skills for project management and the development of reports like environmental impact reports. It's often a wide-open field with tremendous growth opportunities.
Writer/Researcher:
Undoubtedly during your college years you've spent time developing your writing skills and certainly as geography major you know how to research! How about a career as a writer - you could be a Science writer or a travel writer for a magazine or newspaper.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions, kindly revert.
