Have you ever wondered how our world really works? If so, then the only way to get an in-depth look at the earth and how it works is to study earth science. This is a complex field to immerse yourself in, but learning the ins and outs of this crazy world of ours can be very beneficial to you. In this post, we’ll be going over how studying earth science and how it can benefit your life.

What is Earth Science?

Before we get into the benefits, it would be foolish not to give a detailed explanation of what earth science is. Earth science is the study of the world, how it’s structured, what its processes are and how it can affect biotic evolution. Biotic evolution is another complex topic, but simply put, it’s the changes that occurs within the inherited traits passed down from generation to generation. The world is constantly changing around us, and evolution is necessary to survive.

How You Can Learn Earth Science

Ideally, you’ll learn pretty much everything you need to know through a college education. However, college is, unfortunately, notorious for being rather expensive, so obtaining your BA may not be possible at this moment. That doesn’t mean you don’t have other options. You can enroll in a single course, hire an accredited tutor, or go on an apprenticeship. Unless you go with the third option, you’re going to need enough funds to cover it.

The cost does depend on the teacher, but on average, you can expect to pay at least $35 an hour. Some tutors even charge up to $70 per hour. Single courses can cost thousands outright. Either way, the best way to pay for it is to take out a personal loan. Personal loans are incredibly flexible to use, so there’s no restriction on what you can use it for. Just make sure to keep your credit score high to procure a decent amount.

You’ll Be More Willing to Go Green

Having a better understanding of the world can help you take better care of it. There’s no better way to do so than by being eco-friendly. Being more eco-friendly means more than reducing single use plastic bags at the market, it means not wasting anything, cutting out fossil fuels and using natural resources, like sunlight for electricity.

You Have a Prime Career Opportunity

By studying earth science, you’re essentially laying out the groundwork to build a career as an earth scientist. This career is very lucrative, and you’ll be kept busy for a good while. It should be noted, however, that there’s not a single earth scientist. There are many sub-categories you can center your career around such as geobiology, geology, geochemistry, environmental science and climatology.

Each career has their pros and cons, so make sure to research the fields you’re most interested before ultimately settling on a decision. Alternatively, you can also aspire to be a professor in the field. Earth science professors help educate others who are passionate about the world we live in and aim to solve its many mysteries.
