How do climate and location influence occupation?

Climate and location have influenced occupation from the beginning of human history. For example, it's difficult to farm on a sandy beach. Of course, particularly in modern society, climate and location are not the only factors that determine vocation. Climate and/or location will, however, create industries to support major enterprises in a particular region.

Climate and location have influenced occupation from the beginning of human history. For example, it's difficult to farm on a sandy beach. Of course, particularly in modern society, climate and location are not the only factors that determine vocation. Climate and/or location will, however, create industries to support major enterprises in a particular region. 

Let's look at climate separate from location. A dry climate will be home to jobs that more humid climates do not require. Each year, we see how fires devastate parts of the North American Southwest. Because of this, specially trained personnel are necessary to manage both conditions that can lead to fires, like irrigation engineers, and combat fires across large sections of land, like aerial firefighters. 

Now, let's look at location separate from climate. Coastal communities rely on the fishing industry, at least in part, on both North American coasts. Fishermen and -women are part of a large distribution chain that can reach across states and even continents. Every stop in the supply chain, from ice brokers to truck drivers, is in some way employed by the fishing industry.
