What do geologists do?

I want to know what geologist , do for work work on a day to day basis?

And, even though this is more personal question, for the people that have a job in geology: is your salary satisfactory and do you think there are job opportunities out there?

I love geology. I love it so much that I'm thinking of attending a geology college in my country. But I'm also scared about my future.

Geology as a whole is , I think, less known in my country, so I'm scared about job opportunities that I might have after finishing school.

So I'm deciding between going straight into geology, or doing something like civil engineering, since it still contains few subjects related to the ground and soil.
