Geologists Ponder the Job Market
Sunday November 9, 2008
Those of you who frequent the geology blogs know how valuable they are. This post is for the rest of you: Kim Hannula teaches geology in Colorado and is always putting up insightful and stimulating posts (in fact I list her blog, All of My Faults Are Stress-Related, among my college teachers' resources, not just in the geo-blog list). A post she made last Thursday, "Demography, geoscience jobs, and crystal-gazing," holds up for discussion a career info dump from the American Geological Institute with the attention-catching sentence, "The majority of geoscientists in the workforce are within 15 years of retirement age." I noted some related material a few days ago. If you or your child are looking at geology as a career, you should be compiling some blogs with your other bookmarks.

I saw your post last week, and meant to link to it… but it took me a long time to find time to say anything, and I forgot where I had read what. (Do you remember who discussed the GSA Today article about the age of GSA members? I meant to link to that, as well, but I couldn’t remember who had posted about it.)
Wait - you were the one who commented about the GSA Today article. So I don’t remember who else mentioned the AGI info sheet. (Maybe it was Lee Allison?)
