Greetings Mars,
What an extraordinary career path! While I'm not a geologist, I understand that these professionals delve into the materials, processes, and history of our planet. They unravel the mysteries of how rocks were formed and the transformations they've undergone since their inception.
Embarking on a successful journey as a geologist starts with a robust education. Typically, a Bachelor of Science in Geology is your ticket to enter this fascinating field, though some high-ranking positions may require a graduate degree.
Depending on your work location, you might need to secure state-based licensure or registration before stepping into the field. To broaden your job prospects, many geology graduates opt to take exams from the National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG), such as the Fundamentals of Geology or the Practice of Geology.
Here's a link to a University that offers Geology as a major, which can provide you with more insights: https://www.cmich.edu/blog/all-things-higher-ed/how-to-become-a-geologist
So, gear up for an exciting journey of discovery and learning. The world of geology awaits you!
