This is the most realistic and honest description of a career in geoscience that I've seen... quite well done! After taking chemistry and physics in High School, I took Geology 101 as an elective course my first semester in college. After two degrees and a 30-year career as a petroleum geologist (exploration and production) I retired in 2009. Confucius said, "Choose a job you like, and you will never work a day in your life."
@@GeologyUpSkill😂😂 oh man that was a good one 😜 so what if i just wanna do it as a hobby and not necessarily as a full blown working scientist? I dont have the patience for math, but i love rockhounding and fossil hunting and im pretty good at it and am insterested in learning more about geology from a more i guess, practical standpoint?
@@malulekethabelo617 Basic science subjects in first year then basic geology subjects second year then advanced geology and related subjects in third year.
Hi! I'm from Africa. I never understood why I suddenly became so interested in this field. But I'm just drawn to it. Thanks for expanding my interests in geoscience!
Fantastic! I have been told by geologists, I missed my calling. I am too old to starg a new career now so instead it is my hobby. When I make a personal learning discovery, it is exciting. Even if the rest of tbe world already knows. Nowdays, there is sooo much quality info online. Thankyou to all the people like yourself that take the time to make it available. I really look forward to seeing new videos from you. Quality plus Australian.
As a mountain biker, i became a student in geology at 50 years old, the amount of information gathered and analysis in one year made me a knowledgeable and interesting rider to be around.. I corrected many locals guy and taught them basic principles about the area. My favourite answer is always starting with ," as a geologist we think ......." and i analyse the traffic with them. Yesterday the marshall of the mountain spent 1 hour with me when i explained to him that mountain, the soil, the rocks and, the original name of that place and plug them together... I am in cape town and it s not very easy to accuratly describe to the locals , their area, and Names of intrusive batholith and lacolith and original names . I do with a smiling confidence. Most of my local friends ask me if that rock is special or no. I always tell them , that they should tell me about it, no me as i am a foreigner. Geology is an open book , a passion for life. Tonight i am on my microscope and watch youtube with a pen and paper.
Part of what I'm trying to do here is to show the general public how closely geology is tied into every part of their daily life. If you make that connection, most people suddenly find rocks a lot more interesting!
@@GeologyUpSkill absolutly, rocks rock !! i collection them and advise to people to hold them in their both hands for healing, cooling or feel grounded. My cats love them too . My collection is growing . I have so far...Komatiite, Petrified wood , Kimberlite , Carbonado black D, (yes) and different crystal and minerals. I became specialist in architecture, repair and maintenance on granite, limestone, marble, travertine and more. That is not a job, it is a passion in my element .Thank you for your superbe channel.
I do have an interest in geology but moreso geography, I am currently trying to combine art (graphic design) and GIS as a potential career, because I love the visual aspect and I feel not many people have combined those two fields much. I am going to take a course evaluating what I want to do as a career to see if I can make it work. This video was very helpful, thank you for making the world a better place.
I knew someone in college who became a geologist. She had apparently always been VERY gung-ho about working outside. While I can fully appreciate its importance and why someone might find the field interesting/rewarding, it had NEVER passed my mind to pursue such a field when I was in college. I once entertained the thought of oceanography/ marine science, however, and the two fields could potentially have a lot of overlap.
I’m a second year geology student and I’m extremely passionate about my studies. Ore deposits and exploration is my main point of interest. Excellent video! I love your energy and I’m definitely going to explore more of your channel!
My step daughter is very interested in the geology. As my background is in the resource industry I am a hundred percent behind her she is only in high school but is looking for future education where she can meet her Gold's and dreams becoming a geologist.
We are all part of the resource matrix. We drive cars, we use phones, we live in houses we eat food from mechanized farms. All of those things consume mineral resources. The challenge is how to do that with the least impact possible and geologists in many disciplines are at the front end of that challenge.
@@alvinlevie9109 Marine geology and Sedimentology are the frontline for climate research before human records began. Mineral exploration geologists are the front line finding resources of lithium, copper and a host of other metals that are required to build low carbon energy systems and infrastructure.
Most geologists end up in environmental consulting, water resources, support for engineers, teaching, or other pursuits that often do not involve much of what is presented in this video. Full-time Exploration Geologists are kind of rare. Their jobs are often temporary. You have to be drawn to projects that tend to be risky but with high reward. Not for the faint of heart. Visionary people with some discipline. Many exploration geologists would work for free (if they could) because it is that cool, fun, exciting, and rewarding. Pedal down folks, the phone is ringing........
Damn Nick, , the guy at 4:37 was actually loosing ground as he was struggling against the rocks sliding sliding down the hill with him. My kind of guy. Great video!
I’m not planning on becoming a geologist but I am required to take geology 1 and 2 in my university studies as it’s part of the job I’m planning to get in to which is an engineering degree with specialisation I’m mountains, mining and explosives is a way to summarise it, I am just starting to learn and as of yet is is still incredibly interesting and I’ve got around 3 and a half years left of studying but I’ve got high hopes, thanks for this.
There is a legedary divide between engineers and geologists. The world would be a better place if both disciplines had to study a little of the other side at university!
I’m currently studying geology and astrophysics at uni in the UK. I love geology, more specifically planetary geology; however I don’t know of anyone who knows the specifics about this field of geoscience…
It's not my field either, but it is becoming progressively more popular as we send more vehicles with more and better sensors to other planets and other celestial bodies. Some of them are now bringing back samples that give us a unique perspective on the world, the universe and everything!
Im watching this video on my desk while I'm working on Cu greenfield proyect.Tomorrow i'm leaving for 3rd consecutive month to literally the wildest Colombian jungle in the middle of the tropical area. I am a junior exploration geologist and goddamn! i'm proud of me, geology is what I am, and I hope never lost the thrill of looking and finding surprises beneath my feets. Good videosssssss, please keep it up! :)
I finished high school a year ago and I graduated from geography also. Currently learning to become a vet assistant (I chose this because I didn't really have any idea what do I want to study later) and I'm into geology like I've never before.

Hey, I was really wondering - is it possible to keep a relationship? It seems hard to be separated for long times. I would love a job like that, and the one thing I'm concerned most about is the relationship with a partner.
That is a tough side to the job, particularly in the exploration sector where work rotations tend to be longer and sites tend to be more remote. With that said, most sites these days have reasonable internet connectivity which makes video calls possible and that is a real savior for relationships. Geology jobs in mining and other sectors tend to have much shorter rotations now so family life is not quite so disjointed.
Great video. Do you think a 4th year translation student who has been interested in maps since childhood can slowly do something in this field? I have a whole life ahead of me, why stick to one thing? :)
Plenty of people take up geology after studying something else. Translation might be good because geology is basically reading the language of the earth written in stone ;)
Hello, I’m currently a Jr in high school and I have been interested in geology since a young age. Last year when I was thinking about what I should do in the future, geology seemed to be the one carrer that kept coming up.

Most of those jobs are in academia, but there is an increasing demand for them in the risk assessment area for government organizations and insurance companies, particularly if you have some other qualifications or experience to broaden your knowledge.

Hello, sir! I want to ask you out more about geologists who are working with data and information with computers and programs. Is this type of work exists only in an office format, or can it be done from houses? Is this a high level in career or you can specialise on it sooner? Sorry if these questions aren't formulated good enough, i know a little in these theme and want to ask you about it overall! Thank you!
There are a few geoscientists working from home on data, but most of them started out working in an office amd moved to home base after gaining a lot of experience in an office.
The outcrops at the start of the video are actually gossans after serpentinite ultramafic rocks. They have strong carbonate alteration which makes a similar weathering pattern to dolomitic rocks.
This was super helpful! I've just started going to school again after 10 years in manufacturing. Geology is one of the first classes I signed up for and I'm really enjoying it. It's been nice to see what you can do with the school work.
Ive always wanted a field involving discovery, i bounced from yearning to be a archeologist to a marine biologist but geology and the way you've described the career really makes me believe its the right one for me, thanks so much for the video!
I was originally going to double major in geology and a foreign language, but ran out of money and time so I settled for a minor instead. In graduate school I was able to research a field of my choice, as long as I conducted my research in Chinese, I chose to research water issues in rural China. I was planning on continuing to study hydrology in China, but my plans were cut short by the pandemic, and also a desire to work to provide a future for myself and my fiancee. For now I have a comfy job as an English teacher, but I just had a conversation the other day with my fiancee, and she is encouraging me to continue my studies. I think she's right. So I'm planning on working for a few more years, and then going back to school to finish what I started. I've been thinking it might be a good idea to get some books and do a little self-study in my free time, just to refresh my memory on things, anyone have any recommendations?
Ive been fascinated by earth science since I was 3, making my own doodles of Mt st helens magma chambers before I could read. But life happened and now I'm 23 with nothing but a high school GED. Then there's the fact that most geology jobs are just being a scout for mining corperations as opposed to actual scientific research for the sake of knowledge.
Companies based in Australia, Canada and US are the most active, but they have projects in many countries. The most important thing is which countries you can travel to most easily.
So I think this career is made by fate, because my first actual job is utility locating and really opened my eyes to this field so how do I involve into it lol
I know be a geologist it's not easy, but on my deep heart say , i Will enjoy it, and i love it. My heart beating when i heard, feel, or saw about geology, it's like i always beating when i find my crush, and now i know, geology it's my crush!
Lots of copper in Poland easily found because of one special plant that lives nearby .

thank you uncle, I really appreciate your hard work in making this video, actually, I probably will enter the Geology major so that's why I searched about it
I've got 1 year to choose my lifepath. I'm extremely passionate about mountaineering, climbing, the outdoors and mountains. I'm a science lover and am in love with maps. Would this be a great field to be out in the wilderness on a daily basis? If so what are some great colleges to choose from? (Europe/America)
Sounds like you have a great combination of skills and passion for exploration geology. The best college is the one with the most enthusiastic people. Look at their websites to see what the people are working on and then email the people who work on projects you like. Go to the college where you get the most enthusiastic response.
Well done love the presentation, nice to hear from real people. Retired don't want to do this as occupation just interested in the world around me and how it got here, Thank you so much.
I spent a lot of my life telling myself I could never be a scientist because of my learning disabilities, but I’m about to go to college and I’m realizing I’m not as bad at school stuff as I thought I was. I like science and I’ve worked hard at getting better. I don’t know if I’ll go into geology or other forms of science but I might give it a shot and this video was helpful.
And I currently don't have any experience in the field that's why I'm seeking this opportunity to navigate the journey of having a good career as a Geologist. Thank you
There is much demand for geologists outside India now. The bottom line is to focus on the countries where you can most easily travel and then make contact with exploration and mining companies that have operations in those countries.
Hello! I have been documenting myself about this domain, geology, and I come to realise this is something I want to pursue. Although, I want to know, what is the most notable difference between engineering geology and geology? And which one you think its the most interesting? Thank you ! :)
Engineering geology is mostly to do with the physical properties of rocks where they are involved in various construction type projects. Geology is pretty much everything else to do with understanding how rocks formed and what they can tell us about the past and future. Exploration Geology (my field) is about finding mineral resources in rocks.
I started college as an engineer and realized it wasn’t for me and I wanted to go into a science. So I picked Geology and I’ll be graduating with my degree in a year. Geology has SO many different career options from Exploration to Gemologist, you could even work at a museum. I’m going to be working in the mining sector. Depending on your school the geology courses are small so you can really get to know your professors. Don’t give up and you’ll enjoy it, I Do!
I'm a general Geologist and stuck.. Wanna do MA but I'm still not sure about the niche or the major i want In the same time I'm a girl who lives in a community that girls can't do jobs like exploration
That's a tough one. There are lots of opportunities for exploration geologists around the world now, but travel issues are making it difficult to take advantage of them. I would always advise students to pursue what interests them. If your job is interesting, it will always be easy.
Great video how would you suggest someone to learn about geology by themselves before they delve into actually becoming a geologist to make sure its the right carrer for them and they enjoy it.
I live in Spain in the village of Gaianes & often find small limestone rocks with a gold glitter & what must be Qwartz cristal , the mountain to the north is Benicadell ,Arabic for son of the beneficent & surely is ,we have very cheap hard water ,& underground seepage for our olive trees , a bumper harvest on Roman built terraces the ones high up on the mountain level to within 3 cm , the best olive oil in the world sweet & low acid & in Small quantities drinkable . Olive trees originated from Syria. Brought her by Roman sailors , one variety that we cant get is one that when ripe is sweet & apart fron the seed is edible .An interesting Geological question , how did olive trees sudden become .Olive flowers are fertilised by a tiny fly .When I lived in Holland on sea , mum still alive & stepfather too , in the garage was a cracked in half meteorite he found on a Maidstone park , goldish colour the size of a small sausage , The periodic table of elements is growing due to finds in meteorites !
This is a year late, but go for it! I'm at Cambridge at the moment and have been sidetracked from what initially seemed like a career in physics by the allure of the rocks. I've never been happier. Let me know if you make it!
You are inspiring sir that's all I will say until I become someone significant to visit you in person with some of the specimens that might interest you Respect from India 🙏
They study the rocks and minerals from planets and asteroids to try and understand how and when they formed. This field of study provides very useful information on how and when the Earth formed.
I work for mineral exploration companies as a consultant geological mapper. There aren't enough geologists in the world to make a living out of RUclips videos.

The outcrops at the start of the video are actually gossans after serpentinite ultramafic rocks. They have strong carbonate alteration which makes a similar weathering pattern to dolomitic rocks.
This was super helpful! I've just started going to school again after 10 years in manufacturing. Geology is one of the first classes I signed up for and I'm really enjoying it. It's been nice to see what you can do with the school work.
That's great. Geology is more than a job. It's also a lot of fun!
Ive always wanted a field involving discovery, i bounced from yearning to be a archeologist to a marine biologist but geology and the way you've described the career really makes me believe its the right one for me, thanks so much for the video!
It certainly has that component in a wide variety of sub-fields.
i just really like rocks and also learning things
So do I. Those are great attributes for geology!
You just got me a little more excited about the academic journey I'm on! Thank you for this video!
That's great. It's hard not to get excited about this job :)
Its like discovering ourself heheh
You can find all sorts of things in rocks!
bloody oath mate
I want join in nasa and I Hava a degree in geology what's are the careers available for this degree in nasa?
Planetary geology is a thing and NASA employs lots of them.
I have a question that is related to geology.
Q) give me 5 most active areas that is 50 to 50km
If you draw a 50km circle around the largest mines, that will be a close approximation.
I was originally going to double major in geology and a foreign language, but ran out of money and time so I settled for a minor instead. In graduate school I was able to research a field of my choice, as long as I conducted my research in Chinese, I chose to research water issues in rural China. I was planning on continuing to study hydrology in China, but my plans were cut short by the pandemic, and also a desire to work to provide a future for myself and my fiancee. For now I have a comfy job as an English teacher, but I just had a conversation the other day with my fiancee, and she is encouraging me to continue my studies. I think she's right. So I'm planning on working for a few more years, and then going back to school to finish what I started. I've been thinking it might be a good idea to get some books and do a little self-study in my free time, just to refresh my memory on things, anyone have any recommendations?
Geology is a less stable source of income than teaching, but if you love what you do, there is always a way.
you got this!!!!
I’m in 8th grade and I really wanna be a geologist so thx for the video
Go for it. We need more geologists!
Geology is the science that I am interested in in the future to learn more and add more, thank you.

That's great. The world needs more geologists!
Ive been fascinated by earth science since I was 3, making my own doodles of Mt st helens magma chambers before I could read. But life happened and now I'm 23 with nothing but a high school GED. Then there's the fact that most geology jobs are just being a scout for mining corperations as opposed to actual scientific research for the sake of knowledge.
There is a big variety of jobs with the Geologist label. The amount of science you use is pretty much up to you.
In which countries there is demand of geologist sir?
Can you give your views regarding geoscience in master's degree?
Your regular follower😊
Companies based in Australia, Canada and US are the most active, but they have projects in many countries. The most important thing is which countries you can travel to most easily.
Sounds like a fit...
So I think this career is made by fate, because my first actual job is utility locating and really opened my eyes to this field so how do I involve into it lol
Studying geology at university is usually the way to go and choosing subjects that reflect the parts of geology that interest you most.
I know be a geologist it's not easy, but on my deep heart say , i Will enjoy it, and i love it. My heart beating when i heard, feel, or saw about geology, it's like i always beating when i find my crush, and now i know, geology it's my crush!
If you love what you do. You will never work a day in your life.
Lots of copper in Poland easily found because of one special plant that lives nearby .
I find all science interesting , the rate of a pendulum variable because of the force of gravity varies 2 Pi root L over g & a long pendulum show earth rotation . I studied Machine tools ,then worked at a place that made radio push button tuners & at Plantpack Mundon essex vac & pressure forming of seed trays & until I retired to move to Spain at 58 worked at Calorex heat pumps in Maldon Essex elec circuit designer , then later with my friend Peter Montague the plumber installed "No leak "A/ C .2 Lathes here , just love Engineering . Was Apprentice at long gone Cromptons in Chelmsford in the measurement section R & D 62 to 65 m we had free University education at Chelmsford poly technic gained my BSc .Hope this is not too boring , but engraved on a brass plare above our door was our motto still used today " Necesitat non habet legem "
Have you seen my video about Australian copper plants? ruclips.net/video/F7nN8mU32sA/видео.html
thank you uncle, I really appreciate your hard work in making this video, actually, I probably will enter the Geology major so that's why I searched about it
Thats great. It can be a very rewarding career.
I've got 1 year to choose my lifepath. I'm extremely passionate about mountaineering, climbing, the outdoors and mountains. I'm a science lover and am in love with maps. Would this be a great field to be out in the wilderness on a daily basis? If so what are some great colleges to choose from? (Europe/America)
Sounds like you have a great combination of skills and passion for exploration geology. The best college is the one with the most enthusiastic people. Look at their websites to see what the people are working on and then email the people who work on projects you like. Go to the college where you get the most enthusiastic response.
15 right now and always had perfect scores for geology and liked it. I also love exploring the world. So i think it outweighs the cons
If you enjoy what you do, you'll never work a day in your life :)
Well done love the presentation, nice to hear from real people. Retired don't want to do this as occupation just interested in the world around me and how it got here, Thank you so much.
Geology should be interesting for everyone. I try to explain it that way.
Hello There can any one here me-
Yes. What do you need to know?
I spent a lot of my life telling myself I could never be a scientist because of my learning disabilities, but I’m about to go to college and I’m realizing I’m not as bad at school stuff as I thought I was. I like science and I’ve worked hard at getting better. I don’t know if I’ll go into geology or other forms of science but I might give it a shot and this video was helpful.
You dont have to be a genius. If you are good at seeing patterns in nature then geology might be a good fit.
And I currently don't have any experience in the field that's why I'm seeking this opportunity to navigate the journey of having a good career as a Geologist. Thank you
I hope this video helps you along that path!
I'm a Bvoc Software Development graduate I want to become a Geologist. What should I do? Is it possible to do PG in Geology?
It depends on the education system where you are. There are lots of opportunities for people with software skills in the geo industries now.
Thx...I was there about 60 years ago...if I live to 120...might make it yet.
🤣
Studied BS geology and now aiming for engineering geology. No job at all here but i love my field.
Hope you manage to find a job. It's a fascinating field.
This makes me want to do it even more
Then you probably have the right stuff!
Future geologys here !
Great. Thats exactly what we need!
Sir I'm in India right now
But there no scope in geology
So I think I go in abroad for studies
Please tell where I go and what to do ?
Please tell
There is much demand for geologists outside India now. The bottom line is to focus on the countries where you can most easily travel and then make contact with exploration and mining companies that have operations in those countries.
@@GeologyUpSkill I like to go in japan country but there about huge amount of cost releved.so i need scholarship for go
Hello!
I have been documenting myself about this domain, geology, and I come to realise this is something I want to pursue. Although, I want to know, what is the most notable difference between engineering geology and geology? And which one you think its the most interesting? Thank you ! :)
Engineering geology is mostly to do with the physical properties of rocks where they are involved in various construction type projects. Geology is pretty much everything else to do with understanding how rocks formed and what they can tell us about the past and future. Exploration Geology (my field) is about finding mineral resources in rocks.
I studied Geology and am currently running my masters in environmental geology
Fortunately there are many branches of geology to fit a wide variety of characters.
am a geologist and would like someone to link me with any geology company please, will apreciate🙏🙏
I suggest that you start using LinkedIn if you aren't already. It is a good place to see what companies ore active on projects that might suit you.
Just be careful of people with Obsidian Knives and Baseball Bats.
Fortunately you don't meet too many of those in this field...
just started my first semester and I'm 21. Hoping I can graduate and do this type of work
Hope you enjoy the study and your future career. The best job in the world!
I started college as an engineer and realized it wasn’t for me and I wanted to go into a science. So I picked Geology and I’ll be graduating with my degree in a year. Geology has SO many different career options from Exploration to Gemologist, you could even work at a museum. I’m going to be working in the mining sector. Depending on your school the geology courses are small so you can really get to know your professors. Don’t give up and you’ll enjoy it, I Do!
I'm a general Geologist and stuck.. Wanna do MA but I'm still not sure about the niche or the major i want
In the same time I'm a girl who lives in a community that girls can't do jobs like exploration
That's a tough one. There are lots of opportunities for exploration geologists around the world now, but travel issues are making it difficult to take advantage of them. I would always advise students to pursue what interests them. If your job is interesting, it will always be easy.
I'm elated to have found something I love and feel as though I'm made for!
That's great. If you love what you do, work will never feel like work.
Great video how would you suggest someone to learn about geology by themselves before they delve into actually becoming a geologist to make sure its the right carrer for them and they enjoy it.
There are some good introductory geology videos on youtube now for many branches of geology.
5x5 Datil NM
Geology takes you to those places!
Thank you for this informative video, I look forward to more of your videos.
Thanks. There are nearly 100 on this channel now and more in various stages of production.
I live in Spain in the village of Gaianes & often find small limestone rocks with a gold glitter & what must be Qwartz cristal , the mountain to the north is Benicadell ,Arabic for son of the beneficent & surely is ,we have very cheap hard water ,& underground seepage for our olive trees , a bumper harvest on Roman built terraces the ones high up on the mountain level to within 3 cm , the best olive oil in the world sweet & low acid & in Small quantities drinkable . Olive trees originated from Syria. Brought her by Roman sailors , one variety that we cant get is one that when ripe is sweet & apart fron the seed is edible .An interesting Geological question , how did olive trees sudden become .Olive flowers are fertilised by a tiny fly .When I lived in Holland on sea , mum still alive & stepfather too , in the garage was a cracked in half meteorite he found on a Maidstone park , goldish colour the size of a small sausage ,
The periodic table of elements is growing due to finds in meteorites !
I want to become geologist, I was interested in it from my childhood, I hope i would get into it.
I hope you succeed. It is a very interesting career that can take you anywhere you want to go.
This is amazing,I want to study geology at Oxford university
Go for it. We need more geologists!
This is a year late, but go for it!
I'm at Cambridge at the moment and have been sidetracked from what initially seemed like a career in physics by the allure of the rocks. I've never been happier. Let me know if you make it!
I will be the best geologist sir
Me from the ultimate rare breed
Go for it!
You are inspiring sir that's all I will say until I become someone significant to visit you in person with some of the specimens that might interest you
Respect from India 🙏
Thanks. Specimens are the best way to learn and to teach.
"contrary to popular belief, Geologists are scientists"...lmfao. True.
Yep. Sad but true...
So I carried on looking and found this great video. Thanks
Thanks. Persistence is a key quality for good geologists!
Just be carefull of people with an obsidian knife
One of the many hazards of fieldwork!
I'm studying statistics,can I switch to geology anyhow anytime soon?
Ask your student representative or head of department. It will depend on the prerequisites for eac course at your university g.
Geology is not the best way to find oil. I have a much better method and run circles around geologist.
Most people dont care how you found it. They only care that you did or didn't.
@@GeologyUpSkill Im not trying to criticize geology but the truth is in this area geologists are ' king of the dry holes '.
What is planetary geologist and what they do 🤧
They study the rocks and minerals from planets and asteroids to try and understand how and when they formed. This field of study provides very useful information on how and when the Earth formed.
Yes yes yes❤❤❤
I'm a college，student from China, thanks for your video sir, it helped me understand geology briefly！
Great. I hope it helps you to decide on a career path.
How do you make money?
I work for mineral exploration companies as a consultant geological mapper. There aren't enough geologists in the world to make a living out of RUclips videos.
This looks so fun and amazing, i love all of these things🧗♀️I've wanted to be a geologist since i was 6 years old, but i dont know in what direction i want to go, but this might be the one.
With a history like that, you should be a good fit for the role. That's about the age I got interested in rocks!
Yep okay, geology is 100% for me.
Great. Go for it!
Sign me up
Great vid, thanks
Go for it!
Geology looks fun
Best job in the world if you love working outdoors :)
I do
