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.

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.

I believe the geologists also have the best parties.

I want to do my own exploration

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
