I Study Rocks @rockhardgeologist - Tumblr Blog

I assume that you have made the schist pun, and that the schist pun is still funny to you

No rock puns are funny to me anymore. I’ve heard them all.

GET A LOAD OF THAT DOG

[distantly] THAT DOG

Congrats on getting your master bro, that is really cool. I am just about to graduate with a geology degree from a big state school, and I do not have the steam to do grad school right away. What was your experience with others who tried to get a job with just a bachelors? Also, what made you decide to go all the way for a PhD? I think its awesome and wish you the best!

Thanks! Sorry if this is a late response, Tumblr hasn’t been giving me ask notifications for some reason. The job market is ok for bachelors degrees. You can get into mud logging and other low level positions if you were able to acquire any specific skills during undergrad. If you managed to get GIS certified that would also open a bunch of doors. Unfortunately, most big state schools like the one I attended don’t put a lot of focus on making undergrads workplace ready out of college. If you’re open minded about the kind of work you do, a B.S is generally fine, but there’s a definite pay wall. Most of the people I know who didn’t go to grad school have found laboratory or soil testing jobs. I went for my M.S because i knew if I took a break from school I’d never want to come back, so I rolled up my sleeves and powered through a couple more semesters. I mainly want to get my PhD because I want to do high level research and maybe teach as a professor someday

I wanna know what people assume about me because of my tumblr.

Put an assumption in my ask. I’ll confirm or dispute it. I’m not gonna be mean or anything, I’m just very interested. You can go anon if you want.

I´m in love with a geologist. What should I do?

Lay a trail of rocks leading to your bedroom. The geologist will follow this trail only to find you at the end of it, seductively laying in bed wearing a flannel, cargo pants, and safari hat
