What have people done post a Geography BSc Degree
I am applying to Geography BSc with Applied GIS, but actually don't know what to do after wards and want to know what kinds of jobs can you apply to with a Geography BSc degree
I know one person who went and did a masters in public health and then worked in that field. Another I know did a masters in data science and now works as a data analyst. Two more I know both went into teaching because they really enjoyed studying geography and wanted to teach it in schools 
Realistically though you can go into any generalist grad scheme any graduate can go into - financial services (including accountancy, investment banking, management consulting etc), the media, the civil service, law, the built environment/real estate sector, as well as all the generalist corporate business roles in e.g. sales, marketing, various nebulous "management" level roles etc.
The GIS side might open up some more specific opportunities as well though!

When I was in the 6th form and working as a Saturday boy, my store manager had a geography degree, so you could go into retail management programmes. Look at the Aldi graduate programme. They work you really hard but the pay is amazing.
