Hey! I'm a music teacher, looking to study Geology, formally. Just a little tip for your audio! Before your final render of your videos, consider taking a look at your audio levels and make sure that they are as close to +/-0db sustained in order to have the audio levels closer to the standard volume levels. It's not a huge issue, but just wanted to help!

My name is Erick from Kenya am 24 yrs old. I have a bachelor's degree in Geology, I chose to major in Hydrogeology, a choice I can't regret because am working for a borehole drilling company and so far, everything is running smoothly. Am looking forward to enroll for my masters degree soon.

I graduated high school almost 10 years ago and went straight to work with no college or university. My grandpa made his living gold mining and prospecting up in north western Canada and after getting into it and spending the last couple years learning about the mining and mineral exploration industries and getting into prospecting myself I'm super interested in pursuing it as a career. The only thing I'm nervous about is going back to school at 26. I was a terrible student in high school so I'll need to spend probably a year upgrading, meaning I'll be 27 or close to 28 before I'm even studying geology.

Heard that O&G is setting the ground for geothermal as a larger part of the future energy mix. People have speculated that with some novel drilling techniques like millimeter microwave directed energy drilling we might be able to go really deep into hotter geothermal resources, deep enough that conventional geological rock/resource modelling won't be as important as geophysical data such as seismic reflection, gravity+ magnetic surveys, and magnetotelluric surveys. I don't know if that is really the case, but I'm wondering if a push for geothermal is realized, regardless of how deep the drills go, would it be a boon for geophysicists? I heard the industry ratio is like 10:1 geologists to geophysicists. And would it also ease some of the cyclicality of the industry? Much like how if demand for energy metals are sustained into the future, there would be less boom and bust. So does it makes sense to do Geophysics in undergrad as opposed to Geology undergrad then geophysics masters? The university here, UBC, has a geophysics undergrad program.

@@sharmanveraj3281 It's been good so far! Very science-based so if you like 'geography science' which is basically geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology then you'd enjoy this. My modules have included Geology, Environmental Hazards, Environmental Resources, Water Resources, and Computing, all of which have been equally important for the degree. Geology has been about identifying rocks/minerals by hand specimen and in thin section. We have been learning about the geological history of the earth, how to identify strata/conformities/etc on geological maps, applying maths and physics to various environmental studies in the field. Won't be able to actually do fieldwork this year because of COVID-19 :( . If you want to do planetary geology you will be studying rocks in the same way I am. If you have any questions about my degree though feel free to keep asking!

The high salary is in the oil and gas industry. Be aware though, that industry is highly volatile. Kind of a feast or famine type of industry. I think if you really play your cards right and follow the advice I give in this video and the others, you'll be able to find a stable career as a geologist if that is what you really want. Otherwise, I'd leave it as a hobby. :)

No. I just mean that in general Geology is studying rocks and rock-related topics. The passion can definitely be having something that gets you out of an office, etc. But with that, you'll need to make sure you target your career path in that direction because a lot of Geologists end up in offices.
