it's not hard if you do the work. \n\nthey do look at everything, though. They want to know that you're a wellrounded student who takes all the oppurtunities presented. Its great that you like one subject, but colleges are going to notice. \nVolunteer and involve yourself in extracurricular activities.\n\nAyou might want to reconsider your career.. that type of career is VERy specific and jobs are minimal...  that'd make one heck of a hobby, though!!\n\nGood Luck.. If you want it bad enough, you'll achieve anything. Someone has to, why not you?

Not too hard, but very demanding... i took the courses for a year and i am now a paralegal. You just have to be determined. It will be a lot of work, but it is not hard....

The petroleum industry always pays well, or you could go on to graduate work and then enter any type of industrial research for big bucks.  Analytical chem would probably be your best bet for a specialization if you want to avoid grad school.

You don't say what country or what level, like undergraduate or graduate?\n\nI ran a Google search and found over 1 million hits:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=geology+scholarship\n\nIt appears there are lots of them out there. Most graduate schools will offer quite a bit of assistance to their students, including salary if you are willing to be a teaching assistant or research assistant. At the undergraduate level you can often get academic scholarships that are not specific to geology. Many undergraduate schools will offer work-study which will help you earn money for expenses and tuition. Good luck to you.

No. Never to the extent of a Master's degree from a "brick and mortar" institution.\n\nEven accredited online degrees are worthless in the larger context of academia, because legitimate Master's degrees in the arts and sciences require close mentoring and guided research within the context of an active intellectual community. Online programs can only provide reading lists, examinations, and discussion groups, and are only able to focus on content or data. \n\nA real Master's degree from a "brick and mortar" institution is not merely about reading, taking tests, and discussing the reading with others. A real Master's degree focuses on theory and methodology. It requires a setting in which a student can take the first steps toward a certain level of competency in a subject area, guided by professors with expertise in that area, and engaged by peers with ongoing similar methodological and theoretical investigations.

I am not a professor of geology, but I did TA for a Principles of Geology class, and I have a B.S. and M.S. in geology.  I would suggest EARTH Portrait of a Planet by Steve Marshak.  Of course, I'm biased because he was a professor of mine.  But I find it to be very informative and fun to read.  The students I TA'd for had this text for one of the semesters, and I didn't hear any complaints- which is rare!

Yes there are. This website tells about it ---\n\nhttp://www.ivc.edu/geology/ocgeo.aspx

ave of 4 years fulltime for undergrad Life Science degree BS, maybe zoology major\n\nPLUS\n\nave of 4 years fulltime of grad school, aka vet school, specialty in Equine, just like MDs do a residency...find vet schools that specialize in horses.\n\nIf you do winter and summer sessions and or overloads each term you can do it faster, but that is tough, esp if you are married,work, have kids and are not the type with a photographic memory and aptitude in the sciences.

Masters to PhD level Astronomy would be your main route to that.  Most of the researchers these days hold PhDs in Astronomy, Astrophysics, or Physics, although for planetary studies (solar system) there are other ones as well.\n\nIt depends on the school's exact programs, sometimes everything that would lead to this type of career is centered on the Astronomy department, and sometimes it is spread out over several different departments.\n\nTo start off with though you'll want a good undergraduate background in physics, since everything in the field builds off of that.  Watch out for some undergraduate astronomy programs.  They tend to be hit or miss.  The good ones will wind up preparing you very well in physics and methods of astronomy, some others will leave you highly deficient in the skills graduate programs will expect you to have.\n\nKeep motivated and latch onto some aspect that really grabs your attention, and work to that goal.  It's a pretty long acedemic road, but I'm having fun at the end of it now.

I looked at your questions and it looks like you are trying to get someone to do all of your homework.  I am not going to answer for that reason.  I have a PhD in geology.  You don't learn by cheating.

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.

As an undergrad I was an English major for three years before switching to Chemistry.  I had to start all over (unfortunately, none of my Shakespeare transferred).  It wasn't easy, but it wasn't any harder than analyzing poetry to the professor's satisfaction.  But honestly, any person with brains can get any degree they want.  You are, however, going to have to prove your worth as an analytical thinker to the college that will accept you into their science program.  Try to get the calculus, physics, and intermediate geography/meteorology done before applying- possibly at a community college.  You could always go talk to faculty at the college you want to apply to and see which classes would transfer from where, which classes you would need, or if you can just directly apply to their program.  Hopefully you will do well in those classes you need, and along with your probably stellar standardized test scores should open the doors to any program you want to enter.

Listen to your voice, what you want to?\nPeople can mark their presence in stuffs in which they are really interested. \nMBA from good college is OK, for blue collar, higly paid jobs.\nIf you are really interested go and pursue MS from good university.\nSoftware is cool, if you are enjoying here, then u must be going good, no need to shift to domain company.\n\nPersonally, I feel do Master's in stuffs related to Oil and Petroleum and then u are a great prize to ne oil and pet. company.
