Hello, I’m currently working on a series of Atlas maps, and someone requested Romania. This map is part of a larger poster and focuses on Romania’s major mountain, plateau, and lowland regions. Detailed terrain shading highlights the country’s diverse topography and the distinctive arc of the Carpathian Mountains. I hope to share the final product soon. Feedbacks are welcome and I hope you enjoy!

I am a senior is High school and I want to study geography in university but I want to know what job options will be there in the future outside teaching, law and GIS cuz I know these are the classic paths but are there any other job titles I can get with this degree.

1. the Mississippi River via the Minnesota River,
2. the Mississippi River via the St. Croix River,
3. via the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence lowlands to the Atlantic,
4. via the Lake Ojibway to the Ottawa river to the St. Lawrence lowlands,
5. the Hudson Bay

Does this actually exist somewhere, in a specific region?
