Also, how did you get into it, and what sort of education or certifications (if any) did you need?

And if you were to get into the same niche today, would you? (And in some cases–COULD you, or has the door closed?)

    I’m a geologist, but not the fun kind that gets to look at actual rocks.

    I do environmental and some geotechnical work, which pretty much boils down to “Is the dirt poisoned?” and “How hard do I have to squish the dirt to make the future building not fall down?” There’s few things to get excited about, but it’s steady work and pays the bills.

      For me it’s “is there a possibility the dirt is poisoned?” (Phase Is) and “is the dirt poisoned enough that you have to do something about it?”
