OK.. I am not that old but I am not that young either. Maybe somewhere inbetween (27 next month)..
Anyway I recently just applied and was accepted into a Bachelor of Applied Science at QUT majoring in Geosciences. My previous degree was a Bachelor of Arts in Politcs and International Relations/Indonesian.
Anyways my course starts next month, 3 years and 1 more for Hons as they say thats what the big companies demand. So if I stay the course with Hons I will be about 31 or 32 when i finish , add extra if I do mastars.
I originally planned on getting a drilling ticket and working in the mines but in recent months I have become highly fascinated in the formation and history of our universe, solar system and planet earth etc etc. (How it all began).
The reason for geology I guess is first and foremost for the lucrative earnings, the chance to travel (and get away from where I am from) and I guess explore the biology of earth.
I feel I am up to the task and look forward to learning mind blowing information that also in a sense explains the meanings of life and why we are here. ( I never really got into the whole Jesus fad). When I watch videos or read books about earth sciences it provides an escape for me from the "brutal" reality side of life.
But anyway, my questions stands- how old is too old/ how long is too long in such an industry?
Any words generated from this topic would be great as this is pretty much my first forum ever.
I know a bit about the formation of earth but as for rocks - 3 words.
Igneous. Sedimentary. METAMORPHIC.
