I graduate in the spring as a geologist. I am doing sediment, volcanology and petroleum. It captures so many sides. But I’m in love with all of. I’ve taken petroleum, paleobiology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, petroleum/volcanology and geophysics. I LOVE geology!!!
I'm going through and watching all of your geology videos, they're so helpful and insightful! I'm a first year geology student in America, so thank you for your insight!
After having completed my Ph.D. in Geology, more specifically geostatistics applied to mineral resources, I recommend everybody to learn some kind programming language as soon as possible in their academic or professional lives. Interpreting data is the key point to become less replaceable in industry.
That is probably by far the best advice coming from a fellow geologist! Data management skills becoming very important and definitely adding to one's job security. Programming in general is a very useful skill to have.
Hey I'm a geoscience student from Germany and I find your vids very very helpful! I soon have to decide in wich direction I want to specify but knowing that it's also good and well seen to work on different projects, really makes me less stressed out...cuz there are so many interesting disciplines...
This is accurate. I'm a Wellsite Geologist in Texas and it's common for us to spend 2, 3 sometimes 5 months working everyday without days off in the field. Not for the weak minded or those who get homesick easily
Thank you for this. I am 32 and randomly took a job as a field geologist/scientist I. I want to use this as a new beginning for a new career. I hope I can learn everything properly, to facilitate advancing my career.
@@AJSchnell I am titled "field geologist" but the job actually entails doing quality control of construction sites amd sampling concrete from concrete trucks. It's a good job, but hardly "geology". Though there is a lot of technical stuff on how to read building plans and working to complete a building project day by day.. (you also have to monitor the building site as soil is added and compacted onto a building pad) Look up "concrete sampling" and "soil compaction with a nuclear gauge" If you watch the videos on those two topics, your local "field geologist" company should probably hire you. Spring/summer seems to be their busy time. (Sorry if I came across cynical, but this job seems a decent enuf entry level job.. I'm just a bitter person who job hopped for a while. I'm 33 yrs old.)

@@noname.8047 In the Bologna system (Europe) it's 3 years for the Bachelor's degree, after which you could call yourself a geologist, but for serious job chances do a Master's degree, so 5 years. If you want shorter studies, look into becoming a Mining engineer, 2-3y max.
hey, so I’m an aspiring geologist and I’m interested in volcanology and would definitely like to specialise in that in college.

I’m planning to study geology in university of Calgary do you know the study plan of this university? and is there’s any field course out of Canada and for how long it is ..and I wanna know if I should take PhD or not?....and I found ur Chanel very useful ,you and ur videos are one of the reason why I packed geology keep going❤️❤️

Hi sweetheart 🙈 i want to do petroleum geology but this year i have to choose between fondamentale geology and géologie appliquée if you can tell me wich one will allow me to study the petroleum geology.
hey, i am geology student i ask my doctor his leader of hydrology in my collage , he said : yes , one of his students work in mining sectore , but if you want to work on mining sectore the better way you can do it is study mining and roks geology in your collage sorry for my bad english
You probably do not have the background in math (calculus/diff eq), chemistry (two semesters of inorganic chem minimum) and two semesters of university physics; so you will need to complete a lot of leveling work.
That’s most difficult question ever for any geological aspirated people. I’m working geologist in geotechnical company, and now I want to switch to oil and gas or mining... hell confusion
i want to do geology but im starting off with college then ill transfer to a university but the school said i need to start with associate of science degree wanted to ask if im in the right way ? ......great video by the way loved it
Thank you for your kind comment! Where are you located? Different countries have different system. In Canada, we don't have to do college we can go straight into geology program at University and geology program is part of the science faculty.
Haha, rigging up and getting your gas readings is very simple once you learn. It would take you little time to understand. The problem is when everything decides to break and the rig is drilling 500 ft/hr and you're losing data trying to get your shit back up running.. LOL
Geophysics is applied PHYSICS. Geology has more of an emphasis on CHEMISTRY. Paleontology is BIOLOGY. What you prefer is up to you, but geophysics is very intensive math & physics - is that your passion?
