Les géographes et Leur Avenir

Geographers and Their Future

 

Les  employeurs  ont  rarement  besoin  d'un  spécialiste  étroit.  Ils  ont  besoin  de  brillants,  engagés,  des  individus  curieux  et  déterminé  par  la  capacité  à  s'appuyer  sur  ce  qui  se  passe  elsewhwere  dans  le  monde.  Les  meilleurs  géographes  sont  des  étoiles  à  cet  égard  ! 

Professor David Rhind, Chief Executive (1991-81), Ordnance Survey (lembaga pemetaan nasional Inggris).

^{They need bright, committed, inquisitive and determined individuals with the ability}

Sekelompok peneliti setuju bahwa geografi sebagai subjek memiliki keistimewaan amat berguna sebagai sebuah persiapan hidup secara umum sebanyak karirnya. Disini ada komentator-komentator serta karyawan-karyawan, dan pengarang yang sangat bersyukur pada Royal Geographical Society (dengan Institute of British Geographer) yang telah membuka pandangan orang-orang.

Sebuah departemen Geografi Inggris menyatakan terdapat lulusan-lulusan baru yang secara khusus menilai dari gelar geografi mereka. Dibawah ini beberapa hal yang mereka katakan:

I really benefited from the applied skills I learned.

The research skills I got were very useful for my job marketing.

The friendly treatment I got from the staff—very accessible—suited me perfectly.

The field trips and the brief time we had getting to know professionals officials in the ‘real world’ were memorable and beneficial.

I am a property consultant and so analytical skills, data analysis and report writing were the things I got from the degree that have been invaluable for my job.

I went on to an MPhil in Social Sciences and then into consultancy in social and market research, so the key were the range of course, survey methods and the dissertation—that’s what I now do daily.

Research strategy and time management and interpersonal skills based around the projects.

The variety of the course has helped me to talk to people better (she is now in business banking!)

As a TV news researchers, I needed the all-round education and the broad based degree.

In my accident investigation work, the transport geography module was perfect for this job.

Barangkali KUNCI UTAMA disini ialah bagaimana kamu sampai untuk menilai berbagai bagian-bagian berbeda di gelar geografi, dan seringkali tidak tampak sebagai sedikitpun “geografi”. Kamu boleh jadi tidak dapat memprediksi saat di universitas yang akan keluar menjadi aspek terpenting bagimu di masa mendatang.
