Geology is a professional course. with Geography you still need to do a diploma or masters in Remote Sensing or GIS course to professionalise. So, the choice is yours.

.....tanx for d tip...really appreciated....pls need more advice frm u all....

If you know you have what it takes academically you can go for Geology if you can. Geology as a career is more rewarding than Geography. But have it at the back of your mind that a 1st class or 2:1 graduate of geography, zoology, botany etc is ranked higher in the employment market than a 2:2 graduate of Petroleum, mechanical, electrical or geology etc graduate.

geology is not hard at all if u are serious..

But the funny thing is that while i was in Uni.. We were over hundred geology student in the first year, but during graduation we were just 29..

I read Geology and about to round up my masters in Geophysics. I must tell u dat Geology is far better than Geography. Its even easy, just that u need to do a lot of cramming and all. I did Remote sensing twice. At Undergraduate and Masters level. Geology is pretty wide and marketable, especially if u can make 2.1 or 1st class. You might even get to discover some aspects more interesting than Remote Sensing.
Perhaps, if u have the opportunity to change, then do so. But make sure you work hard to graduate with a good result.
