Boring as fuck.

My Dad's a geologist for Saudi Aramco. He's been doing it for 30 years, now. He always tells me about how he hates his job, and that he wished he'd become a musician, instead.

A friend of mine was gonna be a geologist.
My dad told me that geologists get paid mad dosh, so it was a wise choice.

He showed me some of the math problems he had during the start of the first semester, it was something about matrices that i hadn't even heard of before.

He quit some time later because it was 2hard.

i wonder if i could do it...

How much math and chemistry do you need? Just finished my second year of college but I'm dreading third year chem and math. ChemEng btw.

>BS Petro-Engineering
>Tons of jobs
>160k starting

Where should one study this?

>>5798556
Not sure, but I think the max they use is babby calculus.

you've gotta into the roughneck lifestyle though...

I know geophysics is tougher, there are more physics courses, usually more chemistry. It's kind of like Surgeons vs MDs, those who like to work outside all the time and work with their hands (geologists) and those who actually understand the material and add to the theory (geophysicists)

>Women's Studies
>Tons of jobs
>150 annual starting.

Why aren't you a feminist, /sci/?

HIGHLY doubtful of the 160k start, but it does sound promising

Geologists and dentists both work with crevices.

Because Amelicans still think they can make $100K/yr flipping houses instead of working for the money. Ref: Casey Konstantin Serin.

>>5800488
From wikipedia:
>Serin decided to quit working full-time in order to pursue a career in house flipping as a means of earning an income and building wealth. In an eight-month period beginning in October 2005, Serin purchased eight houses in four southwest U.S. states, and then began blogging about the foreclosure[2] process on the properties...
...
...
> he was unable to resell. In time, five of the eight properties foreclosed.[3]
>The dubious nature of Serin's real estate transactions, coupled with his subsequent blogging about the affair, have led to Serin's name becoming strongly associated with the subprime mortgage crisis.

Uh-huh, good point, in Bizarro-land
