Hey folks. I’m in my early thirties and looking to do a career change. I have some college but would be pretty much starting from scratch (I was a paramedic the last decade). Geology has always been very interesting to me and I’m considering going to school for it.

I have a wife and three kids and from what I’ve seen a lot of geology jobs require you to travel a lot. Is that typically the case for your entire career, or could you grind a couple years and get a job that has more normal hours with some travel?

Also does this seem like a crazy idea?
