What jobs can you get with a geology degree?

I got a job right out of school in the commercial sector. I spent my first six weeks in the lab literally up to my elbows in very wet soil, putting out data for the field guys to use. But, I had paid attention in school, and taken every last class they two schools had to offer (yet still got out in 5 years), and I worked my butt off. I knew a girl who went into a similar area, but she was so full of herself that she was a degreed student that she quit, refusing to work with hands in mud. Well, two years later, I was a department director, answering only to the guy who actually owns the company, and the guy who is a partial owner. It's a great place to work. I've been here since 1997. Today, most of my duties are in engineering geology, but I also do very significant amounts of work in hydrogelogy, what we call "prelims" which are doing out digging deep trenchs and wide and deep holes looking for the geology of an area to see if it's good to prop up a structure, construction grading and compaction when they need someone to squeak in because the guys who normally do that are already on other jobs, I locate sites for possible construction, design drinking water and septic systems big and small, even some seismology and geophysics. It's a great job. I'll never be a millionaire, and I won't tell you my exact income, but I live in Southern California, and I have a beautiful wife and six little girls, and we have everything that we want and need (within reason... no ponies). So, it's good pay, and I love my job. A job will never be competitive is you do well and pay attention in school. If you can blow the other guy away, there's no need to worry. However, personally -- and this is completely personally... while I enjoyed fieldwork in college, and I thoroughly enjoy all of the mapping and such that I do day-to-day, I would hang myself, jump off of a building, buy a bullet and rent a gun... if I had gone into academic research (which is *very* hard to get into anyway). I guess I'm just a very poor scientist.
