yea you would. We actually have an electrical eng. office. I know they let those guys do field work when they request it, as long as the work is billable.

Yaaaaaas

Any chance I'd get to be versed in glorious rock knowledge? Signals, systems, and co. are p chill but I wanna delve into at the very least some rudimentary crystall(mineral)ography / metallurgy

I've been rockhounding obsessively for over a decade and have some awesome specimens. Why don't I get paid for it?

You'd mostly learn structural, geophys, and geochem. mineralogy is more of a professional research topic, but if you want to learn about it then read:

The manual of mineral science (the best mineralogy text)--->amazon.com/Manual-Mineral-Science-Cornelis-Klein/dp/0471721573

and

Hello, fellow rock licker.

Geology undergrad thinking about doing my masters in petrology. I'm hesitant, as the field can be volatile and I don't want to live in Texas. Any petrologists have any advice for a prospective student?

Brush you should of done Boy Scouts or something, I chose geology because I love camping so much. You get used to the oiliness after your first day or two anyway, man up and have some fun out there or let me go instead lol

Rockpill me here, why should i pick Geology and what are the best fields?

Take an intro to geology class. Most people fall in love as soon as they do this. If its not for you, you'll know right away
