    I wanted , and maybe still want to do palaeontology, but I chose a life in the art and design field. The closest I can currently do is to be a paleo artist as a hobby. Great video.

    Next year I'll be starting my bachelor of science to become a palaeontologist. I think I would be most interested in preparing fossils and a little bit of research. I love looking into different theories and learning more about how certain bones can tell different stories.

With intent to move to rapid city and do volunteering at sdmt ultimately to do the preparation its always been my life's dream only now I can see a possible way to live it. All thanks to you

    I'm only 14, not old enough to go to college yet, but from seeing this video I wanna become a Research Paleontologist and/or Paleo Artist, I wanna study how dinosaurs actually sounded all kinds, not just the Tyrannosaurids, but more like Gallimimus and Dreadnoughtus, and how they actually looked, it's just fascinating to me how ancient creatures must've sounded and looked like.

    As a paleontologist you have a wide knowledge in biology and geology, so you can work in nearly every area of this fields. I work now in conservation (paleo)biology, to understand how the ecological systems worked just before the human impact.

    I originally wanted to become a paleontologist in some way or form but I was a bit daunted by the amount of schoolwork needed for a job that isn’t super secure. (Needing grants and other stuff to fund your research) How does financial well-being play into becoming a paleontologist? Would one need to have another job to keep afloat until your research is picked up by an institution?
    Thank you
