Philip, >>IMO, most jobs can be made interesting and rewarding. All work involves people and if one imagines their job as being linked to the lives of others, then doing well at whatever you do improves your/their "world." << I must agree with you here. My problem is that I've been in school the last 6yrs and have worked full-time in jobs that were "just jobs" to help support the family while I went to school. I'm burned out on those types of jobs(unchallenging work), and am frustrated right now because I haven't found an interesting job. I guess I'm getting impatient, so I'm looking at school again. >>If you think about geology as a career, then see it as at least six years of education. If that seems like a daunting amount of time, which it is when you have a family, then maybe you should concentrate harder on what you are already qualified to do and use geology as a diversion to keep the world interesting and grand. << Definitely good advice! My search continues right now for work, then I can think about my next option. In the meantime I've registered for 2 classes-that should not be overwhelming. Thanks for your response! And have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! gary
