Geology or Biotechnology ?

Question

I am die hard Dinosaur freak and want to pursue carrier on them ! But what I ve infered is that Geology esp in field of Paleontology has not a good future ! Is it true ?
If I do Biotech?Bioinformatics , then how can I fulfill my interests ?

Answer 1

Most paleontologists work in geology programs of colleges or universities. They do research and teach classes. Smaller numbers of paleontologists work in museums. There, they carry out their own research and sometimes teach and assist with exhibits. A much smaller number of paleontologists work for government geological surveys. Until recently, paleontologists found work with oil companies, helping to search for oil. However, this field has declined as a source of employment for paleontologists.

Research in paleontology generally involves doing fieldwork, analyzing the fossils, and writing up one's findings for publication and presentation. Analysis of fossils begins with carefully measuring and describing them. Next, the fossils are dated by various methods. Then the fossils and the rocks in which they were found are used to learn information about the history of Earth. Finally, the fossils are used to fill in missing information about the fossil record and are related to present-day organisms.

A paleontologist must have a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree. A bachelor's degree can be obtained in either geology or biology. Graduate schools generally require a full year of chemistry, physics, and mathematics (through calculus) at the undergraduate level. It is also important to have strong writing and computer skills. After getting a bachelor's, one can get a master's and then a doctoral degree or, alternatively, enter a doctoral program directly. If an individual has not had much experience with research in college (such as writing a senior thesis), then it might be best to get a master's degree first. It generally takes from two to three years to complete the master's program. A Ph.D. program usually takes from four to six years if the candidate already has a master's, and from six to eight years if he or she does not. The courses most important to paleontology include mineralogy, stratigraphy and sedimentation, sedimentary petrology, invertebrate pale-ontology, ecology, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, evolutionary biology, and genetics.
So inturn you make up your mind.Francisco

Answer 2

hi, i'm a biotech student immediately and that i need to assert i'm fairly taking section in it. once you're form of attracted to biotechnology then I propose pass for Biology. i comprehend there is numerous memorization that's all for analyzing biology inspite of the indisputable fact that that's all fairly worth it. In biotechnology, you get to study extra about DNA technology and genetics that are fairly exciting matters. you also get to do experiments on bacterias. =D

Answer 3

You can study about dinosaurs as a hobby and have a different career.
