If it were not for the fact that being a geologist mostly entails working for extractive industries, I think I would really enjoy being a geologist.

You get to be outdoors exploring, tromping around through the wilds. You get to play detective, looking for clues in bands of things in road cuts and hillsides and specimens washed down into the stream beds and arroyos. You get to dig through old journals and big tomes that people wrote many decades ago.
How fun.
@MLE_online i've considered being a land surveyor for similar reasons. poke around dark corners of a property, some mud work, archival research, precise measurements, math problems, on to the next site!

@MLE_online my mom is a geologist. she didn't want to work in oil and gas so she worked for the state mostly doing GIS stuff. but she did do fun field work on glaciers when she was in school.

@MLE_online I had great fun taking combined geology and anthropology classes but yeah, most of the other students went into oil.

@astrid I could do without the math for sure

@rose_alibi at least school got her out there

@MLE_online I did a geology degree and that was very fun, especially field camp!
However now like half of my graduating class is doing GIS (or other non-geology jobs) because there aren't that many geology jobs here lol
So like, I definitely recommend going to a geology talk or group hike because that's 85% of the fun stuff anyway haha

@Dilong that's just going on someone else's thing though. I want to do my own exploration

I believe the geologists also have the best parties.

Absolutely. I went into seismology, but have often thought that geology might have given me more outside play time. Seismology field work is wonderful, but then you spend a lot of time at the computer analyzing the data.
