A Career in Paleontology

     What does it mean to be a paleontologist? Or better what is a paleontologist? Well a paleontologist researches, searches, and studies prehistoric fossils.  Fossils, which are preserved remains of ancient life, are usually found in rocks. They record the history of life on earth. These amazing people study things from a full sized dinosaur to a prehistoric piece of poop known as coprolites. But to most people this doesn't sound like a fun job, but that isn't the fun part, the fun part of being a paleontologist is so that you can travel around the world visiting sites and probably have the opportunity to study it and get close to it. And whats best, is that you get paid visiting the world and sleeping in comfortable hotels.
     There are many major type of paleontologists, the first kind being the micro-paleontologist, who studies micro fossils such as prehistoric bacteria or fossils that have been crushed to pieces too small for the human eyes to see. another type being that they are called Paleontologist, these are the scientists who studies prehistoric fossils from plants such as leaves, tree bark, and etc. 
     However, this may seem all fun and games, but this is not an easy job to get into. Many years of education in this major is needed. Many paleontologist that are working today have a Ph.D. level of training. Many colleges recommend taking as much science class and math classes as possible in highschool and a foreign language since as a paleontologist, it is required to travel around the world a lot. Many colleges refer to this topic as a part of geology.
And a minor in another area of science is recommended in many colleges.
     Although this job sounds too fun to have a good pay, it is a good pay though. Minimum pay will be around $40,000 and can even go all the way up to $80,000 and above. However, this job may seem fun and has a high salary, it isn't an easy job to get. Thousands of Paleontologist are trained every where in the world making it very competitive similar to the computer engineering major. Not many company that accepts these jobs exist, and those that do exist only hire the best of the best. Overall this is a good career to get into and it will be really fun.
