My guess is that it's about the same as the career outlook for geographers anywhere in the modern world - zilch, zap, nada. Geography is one of those majors that even liberal arts majors scoff at.

Four years later, I hope you changed your major, or at least decided to pursue something more practical related to geography, like GIS mapping, or surveying.

I ended up getting a nonspecialized bachelors degree in general studies. I’m now working on a teacher certification so I can quit being a pharmacy tech, which I deeply detest (though as much as I hate pharmacy, it still beats manual labor, even if I have ADHD and mix up medicines sometimes)
