How is it as a Geologist?

[fatal291]

Well I like Astronomy and I was considering being a Geologist. How much Math is involved? Is it fun? I'm exploring right now so If youre in the in field can you tell me some of the stuff you've done and doing currently? How much is the pay?

You can combine both interests. My friend Brent has. Brent A. Archinal, Geodesist <br /><br />Money has never come up when we have been out observing and I would never ask but if making money is your goal I would say you wouldn't need to worry about having lots of it. I know Brent does it because he loves it.<br /><br />He gets to work on fun things like the Mars Rover Team, and he has a minor planet named for him. (Minor Planet no. 11941 named Archinal by International Astronomical Union, 2000 November) He's the 3rd person I observe with that does (I feel left out)<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1" color="#3366ff">www.siriuslookers.org</font> </div>

Well I don't have any experience (other than what I see on tv lol) but if I could do this right now I'd have to say land, the parts where you actually are hands on studying the climate and formation of the terrain. I have always had a spot for wondering about the weather.
