Based on the definitions given,\nMiners/geologists (those who seek new deposits)\nWell drillers (oil and water so they can react as equipment hits rock)\nNatural Resource officers (Geology shapes the physical world and the resources available)

An archivist working in the palentological field. Museum or library based, will be in charge of cataloguing and classifying records, data and finds brought in from field researchers.

Oceanographers study ocean life. They study coral, fish and microorganisms.

i enjoy travelling and science. that's why i chose to be a geologist because i get to go to different places while studying science.

Seismologists can do so. They have special adapted equipment to measure the tremours of the earth with a luminograph(i'm not sure about the spelling). It is a pencil sketching graphs on paper always and when the ground trembles, there is an unevenity in the graph. Seisomologists also can see how the position of coastal plates have changed to predict earthquakes.

The rest of your life. You will need a HEAVY background in mathematics and physics as well as Astronomy. Most high level astronomers do actually have a doctorate in the field, which is a 7-8 year degree. plus the mathematics and physics. You will be studying and learning the rest of your life.

I'm a geologist who has taught geology and earth science at the high school and college level. Why do you ask? \n\nYou can find most of my answers over in science and math, and in earth sciences. I'll be happy to watch for your questions and help if I can.

I'm a Petroleum Engineer, graduated from the University of Tulsa in 1979, and my principle job was Production Engineering, which is probably similar to a Production Operator, or maybe the same thing.\n\nFirst, it will probably require a four-year degree in Petroleum Engineering. You must find this out first, otherwise, "the things you must know" are unimportant.\n\nWhere the Geologist is responsible for "where" a well is drilled, the Engineer usually determines if the well will produce from complex wireline logs that are ran when the drilling rig reaches Total Depth. \n\nThe Production Engineer takes control of an oil or gas well immediately after it has been drilled, before the drilling rig is dismantled and moved off the pad. He determines and  designs the size and thickness of the casing and wellhead, according to the depth, pressure, and production capabilities of the well, then determines the amount of cement needed to cement the casing in place.\n\nThen the completion of the well begins, and a workover rig is moved over the hole. In short, another wireline truck is moved over the hole, and holes are shot in the casing into the producing sand. The formation is then acidized and fractured hydraulically. If it produces, a production string of tubing is run in the hole.\n\nIf the well won't flow, then a pumping unit must be sized for the depth, production, etc.\n\nA tank battery is set up on location, including a separator, heater treater, and several tanks, depending on the amount of the production.\n\nLater in the life of the well, an engineer will be responsible for re-completing the well to another formation, or plugging and abandoning the well according to State regulations.\n\nA Production Operator is resposible for the production from several hundred wells, and when one stops producing, he must figure out why and get it bakc on line with the least of expense.

Astrobiology would probably be it.\n\nIt combines Physics, Chemistry and Biology to study how life might arise on other planets and moons.  Sometimes called the science without a subject.

Uh you might want another degree unless you just want to work on computer programs for astronomers.  A masters or preferably doctorate is practically required for most jobs as an astronomer.

ology is " the stufy of"  So technologist study and research and innvoate technological things. Technicians do more of the application of it.

Not really. Meteorologists study the atmosphere. Earthquakes and volcanoes are studied by Geologists.

To become a professional astronomer usually requires a PhD.  To get into an astronomy PhD program you need a bachelors degree in a related field.  Most astronomers I know did their BS or BA in physics.  A couple did electrical engineering.  Some did a BS in astronomy.  In my opinion, a physics BS gives you a better grounding in the skills you need in an astronomy PhD program, especially if you did a summer or two of astronomy research as an undergraduate.

In what field?  You must specify your field of study in order for anyone to answer this question well.
