AI will first shrink entry-level desk work such as GIS mapping and NEPA reports, and no rules set minimum staffing levels. Drilling, field surveys, core logging, and reports signed by a licensed Professional Geologist (PG) stay with people, so mining and consulting hiring holds up, but the oil and gas path is hit earlier.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
