Why is geography so important professionally?
This was selected as Best Answer Geography has become an absolutely critical knowledge base for profesionals. Industry is now truly global. For example, my law firm has 64 offices in 25 countries, and I have to make sure I am familiar with our assets in every single one. If a client asks me about what expertise we can offer in our offices in Accra, Sofia, Lusaka, Bratislava, or Dubai, I have to be fluent in their culture, language and relative placement on Earth. I didn’t learn about any of those places in school!
