Dear Denizens of Scienceforums,
I've stumbled across this website once or twice when searching for explanations on cosmology, biology, etc. Recently I've been struggling with what career path I should choose, and so I want to ask for some advice. I dropped out of college a few years ago for personal issues that I won't go into. But I've always been set on going back. Recently, I've been in a position to go back to school. Before I dropped out of college I took a class on dinosaurs that reignited my passion for paleontology. I was planning on getting a job in the oil industry as a petroleum geologist as I understand they hire paleontologists for that sort of thing. I was wondering if it is feasible to be in the petroleum game and be a paleontologist? Does anyone have experience in petroleum geology or engineering and could share some helpful advice?
