How to get Involved with the Field of Palaeontology. (Or something)

Now, A fair amount of you on this site, Have always wondered what it'd be like to discover a new Dinosaur, or uncover a fossil...

 

But, Did you know you can do that right now? 

 

At your age.

 

(Or any age)

 

Anything, Is acheivable if you start somewhere.

 

I present a Theoretical Guide for Becomeing a Paleontologist:

 

Find your local dinosaur Museum.

 

Ask about a summer job.

 

Move up from summer job to Part time job.

 

Stay at part time job until you know some of the Museums Paleontoligsts fairly well.

 

Ask if you can go on a dig with them.

 

Ask if you can go on antoher. 

 

Start Routinely And Activley participating in digs.

 

Go to college, Get your degree in that field.

 

Return to your musuem.

 

Go get some Sponsors to fund your dig.

 

Go dig.

 

 

Repeat all steps in a new town. Become ultimate troll.

 

I kid on that last part, But sometimes It is as simple as that. Just like many things in life, You need to know someone who knows what their doing, to get into it. Hence why you need to go on multiple digs. 

 

I know Renknown Paleos. Such as Horner and  Backer Have been in Drumheller for times working on the sites up here. They tend to take what they find back to the states though.

 

Anyways, if you get a Renknown Paleo to suggest you for a dig, Your golden.

 

(I posted this Because It's currently only been me and Dinosteve on the forums for the past two hours... This site is too addictive... "It's like internet cocaine." COming from someone who doesn't do drugs... That kinda sums it up...)

 

 

 

Well... Folks I'm out for today I guess...

 

 

Guess I'll go cook some food or something...

 

 

Sure is lonely...

 

 

I'm gettin' outta here.

 

Peace.
