Careers in Paleontology

[@barron204]

I wanted , and maybe still want to do palaeontology, but I chose a life in the art and design field. The closest I can currently do is to be a paleo artist as a hobby. Great video.

[@kawa-rimono]

I'm the same, trained in art, but I'm doing a science degree with the open University, it's never too late if you want to learn something x

[@spruce8611]

You could be a digital paleontologist. You can paint personal items

[@kawa-rimono]

@@spruce8611 that is certainly something to consider, especially as in the summer I don't need to study as much. I'm on redbubble but I've only got watercolour birds on there at the moment, something to work on soon I think! 😊 Xxx

[@augustr4wberry]

wait same??

[@mrdraco3758]

I'm in a very similar dilemma, though I'm way younger and still in middle school lol. It's quite difficult for me to choose between art or paleontology and which I want to pursue.

[@nataliejackson5762]

Next year I'll be starting my bachelor of science to become a palaeontologist. I think I would be most interested in preparing fossils and a little bit of research. I love looking into different theories and learning more about how certain bones can tell different stories.

[@_astrog137]

How’s it going now!

[@deleted5794]

I'm only 14, not old enough to go to college yet, but from seeing this video I wanna become a Research Paleontologist and/or Paleo Artist, I wanna study how dinosaurs actually sounded all kinds, not just the Tyrannosaurids, but more like Gallimimus and Dreadnoughtus, and how they actually looked, it's just fascinating to me how ancient creatures must've sounded and looked like.

[@Skrimbi]

Same (roughly)

[@kabirsharma5604]

Me too... I'm interested in Titanosaurs (the best sauropods in my opinion), and Azhdarchidae, the super cool pterosaurs likes Hatzegopteryx and Quetzalcoatlus.

[@idreesahmad-d6b]

I am 15 and have loved dinos since birth you guys should definitely pursue it

Thanks for this video, hope this channel grows and spread more Paleontology knowledge, keep it up mate!

[@p.p.8833]

As a paleontologist you have a wide knowledge in biology and geology, so you can work in nearly every area of this fields. I work now in conservation (paleo)biology, to understand how the ecological systems worked just before the human impact.

[@dinoreviewsfitnessmore8610]

You did a great job at explaining the different careers of paleontology because many people don’t know that and I’m glad someone did that👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dinoreviewsfitnessmore8610]

Like paleontology is something I understand really quickly and love/passion with it since I was a child and never crossed my mind that is was boring and not interested it’s very interesting and awesome and I know I will be a great paleontologist

[@Paleontologica]

Thank you!!

[@Heartz_Ayla]

Hello I’m 12 and I wanted to be a marine biologist before but after doing some research I found a massive liking for palaeontology I love looking for fossil and happy I found this video

[@Cfneoz120]

Im currently choosing my career subjects to study next year. This video helped me to know more about Palaeontology! I've been interested in Vertebrate Palaeontology for a while now, and this has really helped me - so thank you so much! ^^

[@chaz2000000]

Hi i personally want to thank you for shedding light on the requirements and different options I currently am starting my journey i come from nowhere special with no money and a high-school degree volunteering is where I'm at. With intent to move to rapid city and do volunteering at sdmt ultimately to do the preparation its always been my life's dream only now I can see a possible way to live it. All thanks to you

[@jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa3117]

I fucked up my chances in school. So I will maybe just become a fossil myself

[@gautamjadhav4154]

Mam I'm so stupid 😫😭 I'm doing diploma after 10th and now I'm in second year of diploma but I wanna be paleontologist. Can I become paleontologist after my diploma in mechanical engineering please tell me mam 🙏😭

[@stephenburgos1179]

I originally wanted to become a paleontologist in some way or form but I was a bit daunted by the amount of schoolwork needed for a job that isn’t super secure. (Needing grants and other stuff to fund your research) How does financial well-being play into becoming a paleontologist? Would one need to have another job to keep afloat until your research is picked up by an institution? Thank you

[@Paleontologica]

Wow, that's a great and important question. I was beginning to type an answer to this but there is so much to say about the reality of careers in paleontology. I think this might be my next episode. Stay tuned!

[@ProdMirzano]

Hey, i’m from Pakistan and i’m an actual dinosaur nerd. Problem is, there isn’t much traction of the subject here in Pakistan but i want to pursue my dreams, although i have a Danish passport if that changes things. I’d just like to ask for your opinion on how i can become a paleontologist from Pakistan/Denmark

[@sitproperlywhilewatchingph423]

Can we earn decent money through paleontology ?

[@ProdMirzano]

@@sitproperlywhilewatchingph423 damn i completely forgot ab this comment, so much has changed since

Finally something good, so exhausted with politics news virus peoples thoughts and feelings. So glad to have something interesting to listen too

[@sheetalmalagi9913]

Hi , I am 10 years old . I love your channel and I love dinosaurs 🦕! I really want to become a palaeontologist in fossil preparation , how do I study for it ?

[@Paleontologica]

If you can volunteer at a local museum, experience in fossil prep will take you far!

I'm doing master's in geology, I'm aiming to be a researcher in Paleontology.

[@roastchestnut5274]

Can you recommend some sources on fossil preparation and how to get into it? I'm an undergrad and interested in working in that field of paleontology.

[@Jogabsha]

Just discovered this channel. Loving it so far

Thank u for all ur knowledge plz make sure to make more vids we need them TvT

Nice work, Myria!! You make each role sound so approachable and encouraging! And it’s great that you’re sharing your own experience and perspective.

Hello me again, I am 14 years old and turning 15 this year.I am in high school and I'm considering to choose Geology, Biology and Geography as my subjects. What are your thoughts on these Myria?

[@Paleontologica]

Hello! All of these are wonderful subjects! The beauty of Paleontology is that it is multidisciplinary. I'd encourage you to choose any/as many natural science subjects as you can.

[@CROWSDEMISE]

I turn 16 this year, unfortunately my school added a geology as a class for next year, and I won’t have enough time to take the course. I hope you enjoy geology :)

[@dinology1064]

Hey Myria!!! I have done my 12th with science with maths this year. To pursue paleontology, should I opt for Geology undergrad course or is there any other course specific to paleontology in Bachelors??

[@mononykus8012]

Amazing video, I found it really helpful in considering an undergraduate

[@symarich2436]

Can you make a video on how to get into these career?

[@graciliraptor3990]

That was interesting thank you!

[@mortaljam27]

what if your just interested in the discovery aspect, fossil hunting itself? im a fossil hunter and collector thats interested in a career in the field but only really find the most enjoyment in the field i even have a personal collection of close to 5000 fossils all uncategorized and unorganized and mainly small stuff but would love to learn more. great video btw

[@tacotots_132]

Love your videos! Look forward to learning more! I’ve always had a passion for dinosaurs but never really thought this career path was possible!

Since paleo multidisciplinary, so many subjects are helpful! Any natural science subjects are great. Writing and reading courses will help a lot with research too!

Thx

[@diya4206]

Hey It really helped me to get more confident in paleontology I wanted to ask that do paleontologist work in groups or they work alone?

[@Paleontologica]

What an excellent question! GROUPS! Paleontologists almost always work with a team of others to study and prepare fossils.
