I'm afraid I failed to overcome my hardest challenge. For my Bachelors, I had duel majors in cultural anthropology and education. My ex managed to prevent me from finishing my masters in cultural anthropology. Later, when I was doing a computer programming AA, he prevented me from finishing it. I was just not strong enough twice. Eventually, I was able to get a masters in education. I also got a divorce and major surgery halfway through that masters. My second husband asked once if I wanted a PHD. By that time, I'd had enough of school and said no thanks. I worked a few more years and retired early. I had always loved doing textile hobbies to relax. In retirement, I spent many years learning and developing skills. In 2021, I got cancer a second time. After recovering enough to be able to sit and do hand stitching, I also found youtube. My daughter was starting her engineering degree. She encouraged me to follow my curiosity about local geology. So, I started following Nick Zentner. I'm doing his Baja to BC series. You popped up in my feed. Now, I am using your channel to help me understand what confuses me. I'm starting to branch out to plate tectonics, which I have wondered about. Also want to learn more about volcanos, which have been a long passion. St. Helen's dumping ash on us settled that passion for a time. Now I am curious again. Soon, I will dig into paleoanthropolgy. That will start me back into the fields I first trained in. My biggest take and feeling of success finally is my brain beginning to work at the college level again. I'm 74 now. Rachel, please never let anything prevent your dreams. Face those reviews head on. You will in time conquer your feelings and succeed.
Omg, I'm going through a "career path crisis", thinking science maybe wasn't for me because I can't choose!!! And all that kind of stuff our minds trick us in... This video was amazing, for real, your channel is inspiring me to go further and pursue a career in geoscience ❤❤❤
Wow you have no idea how much this comment means to me! This is one of the main goals of my channel, and I am so grateful that you are considering a career in geoscience because of my content! I obviously highly encourage you to give it a go! I know you'll find something (or a combination of things) you love ;D Best of luck and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have along the way ;)
It's a shame geology isn't more appreciated by incoming college students. Even as small as most geoscience departments are, I think many geo majors switch from other disciplines. Although I didn't do an exhaustive poll, more of the peers I asked had switched from another science than had started as freshman geo majors. Many were dissatisfied with the size and toxic competitiveness of the chem dept at a school with loads of pre-meds (state school of over 30,000 undergrads). I myself switched from astronomy after deciding it might be too hard as a junior transfer to catch up. Turned out it wasn't easy to catch up in geoscience either 😄 but I ended up loving it as much as I ever expected to love astronomy.
Agreed, I am not sure what it is about geoscience, but young students often roll their eyes at it as if it is either boring or not a 'real' science, when in reality it is the most versatile one of them all and it is soooo freaking coooolll! I wish it was more appreciated by students as well. I think anybody who gives it a fair shot realizes how cool it is, but if they don't know anything about it it is easy for them to ignore. :/ However, I am confident that in the future as we combat climate change and continue exploring the geology of extraterrestrial worlds, the new generations of students will learn just how important geoscience is and give it a shot! :D
I can feel your passion and love for Geology in this video. I'm a mother with two teenagers and am doing a second degree in Geology! Your videos are inspiring!!!
You're definitely inspiring people through your UA-cam channel. Your videos are amazing. I've been watching your channel for days, and I've learned so much. Geology has never been a particular interest of mine, but your enthusiasm is so contagious! Thank you for doing what you do :)
Thank you so much for this comment! I got this at a time that I really needed to hear it, thank you! I am so glad that my enthusiasm about these topics has that effect! ;D
Speaking as somebody who has been around the block, learning to take criticism is one of the hardest things anybody can do. It's right up there with learning to cope with loss, how to let things go, and even establish boundaries. All of the hardest things in life involve learning about yourself, and pushing beyond the limits you had previously established. I'm working to overcome agoraphobia myself. Whether I want to or not, I go for a 30-minute walk every other day, rain or shine, all by myself. It's getting easier to do that now, since it's been about 3 months since I started, so I'll have to decide what to do next. I'm leaning toward a daily walk as a natural progression. Trying to put myself back together mentally has probably been the hardest thing I've ever done, by a very wide margin. But I've gotten past 2 depressive disorders, which are officially no longer a part of my overall diagnosis, and am now working on the mittful of anxiety disorders that resulted from the depression. One step at a time...
I also go on walks to calm down and just overall lower my anxiety, it does wonders just to breathe the fresh air and step away from the computer every now and then! You seem very strong to be working through all that, but it sounds like you are doing really well and you know exactly what to do to keep improving, you are right, it is just one step at a time ;)
Another great video this time more about you! It’s great to learn more about our UA-cam Geoteacher!! As an undergrad, I talk to a lot of other students in connected degrees like Environmental science. I think it’s important to ensure that all students know the range of disciplines that geoscience encompasses, whether it’s “hard rock”geology or larger scale geomorphology or more intersectional work that involves multiple disciplines. We as a community have to do better at communicating the variety that the discipline encompasses. I appreciate your explication on the difficulties of academic writing and peer review. I know for a fact that everyone in academia struggles with that (based on convos I’ve had with profs). I think the most challenging thing so far for me in geology has been doing the related classes like physics and math. I LOVED general chemistry (hence why I’m a geochemist) but physics 🤢. Math isn’t too bad tho. But yeah next sem I’m taking structural geology. Wish me luck!🍀 Look forward to your next video on geocareers. This will be important for us undergrads!
That's me too! I love chem and bio, but physics is not my thing and math is just okay hahaha. Also, how exciting about structural geo! I am going to start making videos on that (hopefully soon)! Good luck, and if you struggle with anything in particular in that class, let me know and maybe I can make a video about it! Lastly, yes I am excited for the geo careers video too, but first I need to make it haha. I am trying to collect information on any and all geoscience related careers, so if you have any ideas about what you want to do or any career options you are curious about, let me know and I will add them into that video! ;) Thanks!
@@GEOGIRL I'm not sure if you'll need these videos or find them helpful but they certainly helped me understand the changing conditions of the workforce in relation to the COVID pandemic in the US. They might be helpful for recent graduates. I personally would like to know about Mining, Academia and public service jobs that can capitalize on my geology degree. The Geoscience Workforce: Current Trends and Impacts from COVID-19 ua-cam.com/video/CF9qPDuYTzs/v-deo.html COVID-19 Impacts on the Geoscience Enterprise: Geoscience Employers and Non-academic Professionals ua-cam.com/video/4DijsS7GWps/v-deo.html
Wow that's so cool! What a small world. Yes, it is hard not to love El Paso and the UTEP geo dept, everyone is so amazing! What year(s) were you there?
@@GEOGIRL Yes, definitely. I was there the summer of 2018! It was my first real experience with field work and research, which really got me interested in geology as a career path 😀 GO MINERS
I am glad I discovered your channel. Switched my major from comprehensive medical imaging (X-ray) to Geology earlier this year. Let’s just say I am eager for fall semester :]
YAY! I am so excited for you! If you ever have any questions about the geosciences let me know and maybe I can make a video around your question(s)! I always love asking people who are new to geology to do this so that I can bring myself to the mindset of people who are either new to or completely outside of the field. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! I can't wait to see where geoscience takes you! :D
@@GEOGIRL As of lately I have been looking into the various fields and careers in geoscience. Grad school has also crossed my mind. I will definitely be contacting you with questions! I appreciate you sharing your background/experience. You have made me 100times more excited 😆
What is really fun is when you meet one of your hyper-critical reviewers at a conference during a casual conversation about your research and they mention a paper they had to review - and low and behold, it was your paper.....yep, been there ...... very uncomfortable moment - but memorable!
Hi Rachel, Nice video. I am amazed to see how much motivated and enthusiastic you are. I am working on my PhD thesis and most difficult thing for me is staying motivated and enthusiastic. I just wonder how you and many others manage to be like that.
Well, my number 1 advice for you is don't believe everything you see online and don't compare yourself to others! I may appear motivated and enthusiastic about my work and research (which I am most of the time), but I definitely have my moments of weakness when I feel completely unmotivated or set back and want to quit. I just don't put those moments on the internet. So don't compare yourself to me or others you see online because often you are not seeing the whole story. I think you (and all of us in grad school) just need to take it one step at a time. I get ahead of myself sometimes and become overwhelmed, but as long as you take everything one by one it becomes a lot easier to handle. Set little milestones and with every milestone you hit, celebrate, even if it's just getting through one exam, or writing just one paragraph of your thesis. And when you feel unmotivated it is okay to take a break. I struggle A LOT with giving myself time off. But if I don't, I will end up working nonstop until I breakdown and then I end up wasting more time trying to get back on track. So trust me, you are not alone. We all go through lack of motivation. Just try not to get ahead of yourself and take everything step by step, and I think you'll do great! Good luck, you got this!that you were struggling with.
@@GEOGIRL Thanks Rachel for wonderful reply. I try not to compare myself with others but you know it's human nature and it happens. Actually I feel very happy when I see the people's who enjoys their work and successful in their field. Since last two or three years I have became kind of partially robotic person who doesn't enjoy much or doesn't bother much about bad things. I believe that time is remedy for everything. By the way if everything goes according to plan then I will be in USA in October, for conference at Sacramento. It's an AIPG national conference. If you have time and if you want we can meet. Have fun 🙏
Rachel: I had to laugh about your reaction to reviews of your paper. I just acted as corresponding author on a paper by my last MS student (she was first author of course, it was her thesis) and we went around and around with the associate editor, who basically didn't know what he was talking about. I even threatened to withdraw the paper! the paper finally was sent out for re-review and the third reviewer (ever hear of the third reviewer) agreed with us and then the senior editor finally intervened and removed the associate editor and agreed to publish the paper. I am 71 years old, so this never ends! Dealing with grant proposal reviews is even worse, let me tell you! You are doing a wonderful job on your videos! Don't let it take too much time from your PhD research.
Hi Jay! I just responded to your email :) Thanks for the comment, I always love getting feedback from people who have experience being the corresponding author. Wow, that story sounds really difficult and tedious. I feel like I would be too scared to go against something the editor is saying but I know sometimes it must be done, I just need to build up my courage and confidence in my field. I actually just reviewed my first paper and that was quite confidence building I must say! Anyway, it was a happy ending to my story! We went through 2 moderate revisions, 1 minor, and the paper was published!🎉 It wasn't my first paper, but it was my first time as corresponding author, and I am so glad that it was a relatively mild experience (relative to the horror stories I have heard haha). Looking forward to those grant proposal reviews you mentioned ;) Thanks again for the comment and sharing your experience!
Some pertinent questions: 1. Is a Bachelor's degree in geology enough to get started in the profession, or should you really get a Masters or PhD? 2. How do students and graduates get their first paid field experience if their college doesn't have a work/study co-op option? 3. How necessary is it to get accredited by a geology association? 4. What proportion of geologists end up working in natural resources, government, education, non-geological science and tech, etc.? 5. How important is continuing education to keep your knowledge up to date? 6. What are some of the advisable, useful skills and certificates to get that usually aren't available from geology school?
Here’s a little from one of your students. President of an e and p company for 30 years. Sold out in 2017. Now retired. Many geotreks. Including ophiolites in Turkey, platform carbonates in the Alps. Turbidite fans in the Pyrenees, oil seeps in Portugal, impact breccias in Nevada and all over Scotland. Perhaps most relevant to you was a visit to the Arkaroola Geopark in Australia. This is where Sir Reggie Spriggs discovered and identified fossilized stromatolites. He also named the Ediacaran. His daughter gave me an autographed copy of her book ‘Rock Star’ about her father. My interests include early life forms, chemical origin, anaerobic and Archean bacteria and how bacterial evolution forces higher order life to evolve. I follow presenters such as Jack Szostak and Dianne Newman. If you have time you might check Nick Zenter at Nickontherocks. He is one of the best UA-cam yackers. Maybe because Washington state has very active geology. Thanks. You’re terrific!
Wow you have had quite the journey! So many amazing places, that's so cool and inspiring. Also, thanks for sharing the info about the presenters and youtuber! I just checked Nick Zenter out and I am already in love with his channel! I'll have to check out the Rock Star book as well, sounds super interesting. Thanks again, I think you are the terrific one! ;D
Thank you very much for sharing. It is really nice to learn and know more about you. I’ve always been fascinated with the natural world, by what it is today, and what it use to be, which is why I really love to watch your amazing and interesting videos. They are always very informative. I wish you a very bright future and a promising career. Keep doing what you love, don’t let anything stand in your way, and keep inspiring other people. I wish you the very best, Rachel.
Wow this is one of the nicest comments I have ever received, thank you! These are the kind of comments that keep me so excited to continue posting videos, especially when it's coming from someone who is a fellow UA-cam creator (who's channel I also love)! So, thanks Smilo ;) I wish you the best as well!
@@GEOGIRL You’re very welcome my friend. As one fellow UA-cam creator to another, I encourage you to keep it up with the great work and continue posting more interesting and informative videos on your amazing channel. And it makes me really happy to know that you also love my channel, thank you Rachel. 😉❤️😊
Cool. I graduated from UTEP in 1990 with an MS in Geology. (Yeah, I'm an old guy.) My Thesis was on volcanic features associated with Aden Crater. I went back to UTEP for a visit last year and how the campus has changed!
@@GEOGIRL I didn't have Dr. Anthony, but I had one class with Dr. Pingitore, and several with Dr. Goodell. Sadly, I think most of the teachers I had have passed away.
Hardest thing to overcome: Living in Ontario Canada, i've climbed a steep limestone cliff-slope of the Niagara escarpment. Easier than river valley talus honestly but the escarpment is made of limestone so... definitely the escarpment.
Just like learning about it. It is interesting. I took some chemistry in college but not as advanced as you are probably required to use. I never had any formal training in Geology but I had some OJT as a former Oil Well Driller. I've always had an interest in the Geosciences. If I was younger, i would probably go back to college and get a degree in it.
@@brucewinningham4959 I am the same way. I absolutely love my career path but there are so many things I am interested in that part of me always wishes to go back and get degrees in the other things I'm interested in haha! But we only live once, so geology it is ;)
I have always loved learning about rocks and underground stuff. I worked with a lot of different geologists in the oil field. Many of these geologists were Superb but one who''s experience & background had been in the coal mining industry was unfoerunately out of his league in the oilfield. Pretty harsh conditions one will sometimes have to work in the oilfield. It is definitely NOT always a "gravy train." LOL Given my interests in the Geosciences, does it include training in Geophysics?
I’m very indecisive rn bc I love science especially geology and etc but I also Want to major in creative writing and film so this video and many other ones are helping so thank you !!
Aw, I am so glad to hear that it was helpful for you! You know what might be interesting for you to try! I have always wished that science fiction books & movies were more scientifically realistic (because I hate that so many people think aliens will all look like little green people lol), so maybe you could intertwine your knowledge of science with making really awesome creative stories that give the public a more real and exciting outlook on scientific possibilities! Even some actual scientific realities are more weird and exciting than some sci fi stories haha. I mean the fact that organisms exist on Earth that don't breathe oxygen, or survive in environments 100s of degrees hotter than humans, or that all life on earth could have come from Mars (panspermia hypothesis), or that one of Jupiter's moons could have an entire world of life living in a completely ice-sealed ocean, or that millions of years ago life on Earth was only in the oceans and there were sea scorpions the size of sharks lol! These things are incredible and yet most sci fi is always the same old, unrealistic stories that makes people think that Earth itself isn't already exciting enough! Anyway, sorry to rant, just a thought, haha. Good luck!
Geoscience > Bioscience Always find content about the geology of the earth 🌎 millions of years ago fascinating and interesting and your content is very entertaining/educational. Look forward to seeing your upcoming astrogeoligical videos. I ❤️GEO GIRL
Haha, I love that you keep calling it astrogeology instead of astrobiology. I mean they are different I guess, but so intricately related that I don't know if it's possible to say one is 'better' than the other ;) In any case, I love the enthusiasm as always Joe! And I am glad to hear at least someone is exciting for the upcoming astro-geobio content ;D
So sorry you didn't find the video helpful! I wish you had a better experience with it. You can try checking out my geoscience career video which is a little bit more information packed: ua-cam.com/video/d22wgbrwmzA/v-deo.html but in any case, I hope you can find what you need even if it is not on my channel! And I hope you consider studying geology :)
This is why I love geology too! It can be anything you want it to be! What an interesting way you fell into geology… I’m here because of Leonardo DiCaprio 😂
Hi i would like to share with you about my experience. Currently i study geology with focou in ichnology continental of upper cretaceous trying understand paleoenvironment compound by sistem fluvial distributive where it's dominated by ichnofacies Scoyenia. Great video
Wow, ichnology is something I don't hear super often, but is so interesting and useful, good for you! Ah, yes Scoyenia, that name brings me back to sed/strat haha. Sounds like very cool research, I hope you continue to make strides in your field, good luck! And thanks for watching and supporting my videos ;D
If I had seen this video (and one other on 20+ careers) in 1958 (when I was a HS sophomore!), I would have been inspired to seriously consider becoming a geology student. I just sent the links to my science-oriented 15-year old grandson.
Earth, environmental and resource sciences - great!! This also relates directly to atmospheric sciences, sustainability, ecology and the history and fate of civilization, including industrial civilization, which is rather important, to make a mild understatement. Included would also be evolutionary biology. It goes on and on. In the long run, industrial civilization is headed for decline, maybe even collapse, and the preservation of scientific and cultural information will become important, and not in the distant future.
Have you heard of Dr. Jasmina Weimann? You are like her, she studies the effects of diagenesis on organic material on a molecular level. If you haven't heard of her, check her out. She graduated from Yale, and I think she is a postdoc at Caltech.
Hello thank you for this video I'll be starting my bachelor of science major in geoscience this August. I plan to specialize in geomorphology for my masters🤗♥️
Samples from Mars will be brought back to Earth before long. Since Mars had seas, would you be qualified to examine those samples? If solar panspermia (by impactors, say) is a thing, then there could be microscopic fossil evidence or even stromatolites.
I mean I could technically examine them and be able to tell the general setting they may have been deposited in and whether they contain visible evidence of past life, but I would need a mass spec and a lot more expertise in mars rocks to actually be able to say anything we don't already know haha!
Everyone who has submitted a paper for review at a journal knows that they are opening their work to criticism. The critique(s) should be professional and helpful, especially if the author is just getting started in the field. If this is not the case you should contact the editor and request more professional reviewers. Just like a good journal should hold its authors to high standards, so should those authors hold the journal review process to equally high standards.
I completely agree, and I did not mean to make it sound like the reviews were unprofessional, they were professional. I just get really nervous when I have to take criticism especially from scientists I look up to so much. I have heard stories of people getting mean or nasty reviews so I get nervous that I will get some like that, but so far have not received anything like that thankfully. I just need to get better at not taking constructive criticism about my work personal as if it is criticism about my abilities as a scientist. I will get better at this with time :)
I played golf in college :) But as a youngen before college I played a lot of sports, but my main thing was gymnastics ...until I broke my back and my knees and had to quit lol, so then I took up golf really late, when I was 16, but thankfully I still got a college scholarship! :D
16:00 You are that interesting. You are biased because you already know everything about you, so for you it's boring. But for us, we are just learning it.
Hi! Thank you for the amazing video. I'm finishing high school right now, so I'm considering my future and I was wondering if you could offer some insight into studying either Geoscience or Applied and Enviromental Geoscience, your personal opinions and preferences. I'm an active caver and I've had my eyes on geoscience for some time, but now that I have to choose between those two, I'm wondering which path is more suited for me
i'm late on this one lol, but thx for doing this -- it would be really helpful to grad school hopefuls i think. a have a few family questions -- broadly and without getting too personal, but what do your parents do? commercial work? are they academics? what areas are their geo interests vs yours? whats it like now when you all talk shop at home? thanks --
Haha, I haven't made it yet, it is on my calendar, but it's gonna be a little bit before I can upload it sorry! I promise I will try and get it out soon!
Well, technically geology is the study of earth so I guess earth science and geology are more or less the same. However, I like to use the term geoscience when I am referring to all the geo-sciences/disciplines within geology, such as geochemistry, geophysics, biogeochemistry, geobiology, etc. Not sure if everyone uses these terms this way, but this is how I use them haha. ;)
I would love to do lots of field work especially if it has something to do with exploration. Would you recommend me to study geoscience or plain geology? I live in Germany btw
Ooh! What a great question, but hard to answer unless I knew more about your interests and passions. I would say if you are at all passionate about teaching, go get your PhD in geochem and become a professor to teach and do research (or just a lecturer if you just want to teach, but that doesn't pay much unfortunately). Or if you don't want to teach, but you like research, get your PhD and then look for a research scientist position at a national lab type institution like PNNL, ORNL, USGS, NOAA, NASA, WHOI, etc. If you like the research side of things, you can work as a research scientist at these types of institutions, but you would also do lots of writing for grants and publications, so if you'd rather do less writing, but be in a lab setting, you can actually make quite a bit as a lab tech running samples for researchers if you gain expertise on a specific analytical instrument (e.g., Synchrotron, TEM, XPS, ICPMS/OES, etc.). OORRR, if you don't want to teach or do research, you can go into industry (oil, gas, mining, environmental, etc.), which typically only requires an MS. But I don't know as much about what those jobs entail since I don't do them. I am sure, however, they still require a bit of research, but probably also require a very specific skill set that would be dependent on which industrial job you choose. And remember that industry doesn't automatically mean bad for the planet, most oil and gas companies have renewable energy sectors that are working to implement clean energy technologies too.
Hlo mam im geology student of bsc 3rd year, i have a doubt about it, what are the jobs available for us after completion of my ms geology. Pls give me a clarity on this mam .
Hi there, I have a video specifcally answering this question actually haha, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/d22wgbrwmzA/v-deo.htmlsi=nZub48kDiinyU5Bf You can do sooo much with an MS in geo, don't quit! :D
Hi Rachel, I am a geology student.i done my master in geology and I haven't idea what should I do rite now because I need a job.do I prepare for csir net exam please tell me..
Hey! I just found out my school offers a degree in geoscience and changed my major. Since writing is a huge part of being a geoscientist, would you say minoring in creative writing or English be a good idea?
Hi there, I use zoom! I don’t even pay for it, I just open the “personal room” on the free version and start recording. But you have to go into your settings to make sure it is set to record your screen as well as your face at once. I think the option you have to check off is called “optimize for video recording or third party” something like that. If you still have trouble getting it to work, let me know! 😊
I hope you reply because I really need an advice, my question is "should I continue studying geology or should I quite and start studying another science putting in mind that I've always been an excellent student since I start studying I mean should I study something different and more appreciated?!"
Continue Geology!! I am not sure what is meant by 'more appreciated', it is so necessary that we bring geologist numbers back up these days! I hope you continue with geology :)
Oh I am sorry you don't like my content, but I understand it is not for everyone. I suggest that you do not thumbs down or comment on the videos because youtube sees that as 'engagement' and youtube will just continue to recommend you my content in that case. Again, sorry about that, just a suggestion ;)
OMG just stop it. You should be open about how she is computer generated. Keep working on the Blade Runner programing like she doesn't want to know. Just like the movie we'll walk right in to it totally aware and fall so much harder.. (Actually maybe that's what this video is all about?) Anyway its not about this particular mode of presentation. Really its just a voice (that you could switch out and replace) and the bit of full screen video at the start for us to cling to in our mind. Its about the fact that our text book company is the only one who loves us and cares about us and will ever or can ever help us and teach us. You are going to be bigger than Microsoft if you are the one. Its funny because as scientific language software companies you will know exactly what high level human thinking needs to be trained for because you only ever pay for it if you have to and you don't run it as a bourgeoisie jobs project.
I'm afraid I failed to overcome my hardest challenge. For my Bachelors, I had duel majors in cultural anthropology and education. My ex managed to prevent me from finishing my masters in cultural anthropology. Later, when I was doing a computer programming AA, he prevented me from finishing it. I was just not strong enough twice. Eventually, I was able to get a masters in education. I also got a divorce and major surgery halfway through that masters. My second husband asked once if I wanted a PHD. By that time, I'd had enough of school and said no thanks. I worked a few more years and retired early. I had always loved doing textile hobbies to relax. In retirement, I spent many years learning and developing skills. In 2021, I got cancer a second time. After recovering enough to be able to sit and do hand stitching, I also found youtube. My daughter was starting her engineering degree. She encouraged me to follow my curiosity about local geology. So, I started following Nick Zentner. I'm doing his Baja to BC series. You popped up in my feed. Now, I am using your channel to help me understand what confuses me. I'm starting to branch out to plate tectonics, which I have wondered about. Also want to learn more about volcanos, which have been a long passion. St. Helen's dumping ash on us settled that passion for a time. Now I am curious again. Soon, I will dig into paleoanthropolgy. That will start me back into the fields I first trained in. My biggest take and feeling of success finally is my brain beginning to work at the college level again. I'm 74 now. Rachel, please never let anything prevent your dreams. Face those reviews head on. You will in time conquer your feelings and succeed.
Omg, I'm going through a "career path crisis", thinking science maybe wasn't for me because I can't choose!!! And all that kind of stuff our minds trick us in... This video was amazing, for real, your channel is inspiring me to go further and pursue a career in geoscience ❤❤❤
Wow you have no idea how much this comment means to me! This is one of the main goals of my channel, and I am so grateful that you are considering a career in geoscience because of my content! I obviously highly encourage you to give it a go! I know you'll find something (or a combination of things) you love ;D Best of luck and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have along the way ;)
It's a shame geology isn't more appreciated by incoming college students. Even as small as most geoscience departments are, I think many geo majors switch from other disciplines.

I can feel your passion and love for Geology in this video. I'm a mother with two teenagers and am doing a second degree in Geology! Your videos are inspiring!!!
Thanks so much for the sweet comment, I am so glad my passion comes across, and best of luck with your geology degree! ;D
I love that you see that geology opens doors to other sciences!!!
Well I have a pretty cool geologist mom that taught me that ;)
You're definitely inspiring people through your UA-cam channel. Your videos are amazing. I've been watching your channel for days, and I've learned so much. Geology has never been a particular interest of mine, but your enthusiasm is so contagious! Thank you for doing what you do :)
Thank you so much for this comment! I got this at a time that I really needed to hear it, thank you! I am so glad that my enthusiasm about these topics has that effect! ;D
Speaking as somebody who has been around the block, learning to take criticism is one of the hardest things anybody can do. It's right up there with learning to cope with loss, how to let things go, and even establish boundaries. All of the hardest things in life involve learning about yourself, and pushing beyond the limits you had previously established.
I'm working to overcome agoraphobia myself. Whether I want to or not, I go for a 30-minute walk every other day, rain or shine, all by myself. It's getting easier to do that now, since it's been about 3 months since I started, so I'll have to decide what to do next. I'm leaning toward a daily walk as a natural progression. Trying to put myself back together mentally has probably been the hardest thing I've ever done, by a very wide margin. But I've gotten past 2 depressive disorders, which are officially no longer a part of my overall diagnosis, and am now working on the mittful of anxiety disorders that resulted from the depression. One step at a time...
I also go on walks to calm down and just overall lower my anxiety, it does wonders just to breathe the fresh air and step away from the computer every now and then! You seem very strong to be working through all that, but it sounds like you are doing really well and you know exactly what to do to keep improving, you are right, it is just one step at a time ;)
Another great video this time more about you! It’s great to learn more about our UA-cam Geoteacher!!
As an undergrad, I talk to a lot of other students in connected degrees like Environmental science. I think it’s important to ensure that all students know the range of disciplines that geoscience encompasses, whether it’s “hard rock”geology or larger scale geomorphology or more intersectional work that involves multiple disciplines.
We as a community have to do better at communicating the variety that the discipline encompasses.
I appreciate your explication on the difficulties of academic writing and peer review. I know for a fact that everyone in academia struggles with that (based on convos I’ve had with profs).
I think the most challenging thing so far for me in geology has been doing the related classes like physics and math. I LOVED general chemistry (hence why I’m a geochemist) but physics 🤢. Math isn’t too bad tho. But yeah next sem I’m taking structural geology. Wish me luck!🍀
Look forward to your next video on geocareers. This will be important for us undergrads!
That's me too! I love chem and bio, but physics is not my thing and math is just okay hahaha. Also, how exciting about structural geo! I am going to start making videos on that (hopefully soon)! Good luck, and if you struggle with anything in particular in that class, let me know and maybe I can make a video about it!
Lastly, yes I am excited for the geo careers video too, but first I need to make it haha. I am trying to collect information on any and all geoscience related careers, so if you have any ideas about what you want to do or any career options you are curious about, let me know and I will add them into that video! ;) Thanks!
@@GEOGIRL I'm not sure if you'll need these videos or find them helpful but they certainly helped me understand the changing conditions of the workforce in relation to the COVID pandemic in the US. They might be helpful for recent graduates. I personally would like to know about Mining, Academia and public service jobs that can capitalize on my geology degree.

Rachel your geology videos are by far the best that we can get on youtube..so much indebted to your videos..keep uploading more ❤️
Wow, this comment made me so happy, thank you so much! I really appreciate your support and encouragement
I was fortunate enough to do a REU at UTEP, so I was very delighted to hear you are a graduate student there! Loved El Paso and the geo department!!
Wow that's so cool! What a small world. Yes, it is hard not to love El Paso and the UTEP geo dept, everyone is so amazing! What year(s) were you there?
@@GEOGIRL Yes, definitely. I was there the summer of 2018! It was my first real experience with field work and research, which really got me interested in geology as a career path 😀 GO MINERS
I am glad I discovered your channel. Switched my major from comprehensive medical imaging (X-ray) to Geology earlier this year. Let’s just say I am eager for fall semester :]
YAY! I am so excited for you! If you ever have any questions about the geosciences let me know and maybe I can make a video around your question(s)! I always love asking people who are new to geology to do this so that I can bring myself to the mindset of people who are either new to or completely outside of the field. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! I can't wait to see where geoscience takes you! :D
@@GEOGIRL As of lately I have been looking into the various fields and careers in geoscience. Grad school has also crossed my mind. I will definitely be contacting you with questions! I appreciate you sharing your background/experience. You have made me 100times more excited 😆
What is really fun is when you meet one of your hyper-critical reviewers at a conference during a casual conversation about your research and they mention a paper they had to review - and low and behold, it was your paper.....yep, been there ...... very uncomfortable moment - but memorable!
You said the most important thing when you said, earth holds so many answers to our problems. all we have to do is look.
Hi Rachel, Nice video. I am amazed to see how much motivated and enthusiastic you are. I am working on my PhD thesis and most difficult thing for me is staying motivated and enthusiastic. I just wonder how you and many others manage to be like that.
Well, my number 1 advice for you is don't believe everything you see online and don't compare yourself to others!
I may appear motivated and enthusiastic about my work and research (which I am most of the time), but I definitely have my moments of weakness when I feel completely unmotivated or set back and want to quit. I just don't put those moments on the internet.
So don't compare yourself to me or others you see online because often you are not seeing the whole story.
I think you (and all of us in grad school) just need to take it one step at a time. I get ahead of myself sometimes and become overwhelmed, but as long as you take everything one by one it becomes a lot easier to handle. Set little milestones and with every milestone you hit, celebrate, even if it's just getting through one exam, or writing just one paragraph of your thesis. And when you feel unmotivated it is okay to take a break. I struggle A LOT with giving myself time off. But if I don't, I will end up working nonstop until I breakdown and then I end up wasting more time trying to get back on track. So trust me, you are not alone. We all go through lack of motivation. Just try not to get ahead of yourself and take everything step by step, and I think you'll do great! Good luck, you got this!that you were struggling with.
@@GEOGIRL Thanks Rachel for wonderful reply. I try not to compare myself with others but you know it's human nature and it happens. Actually I feel very happy when I see the people's who enjoys their work and successful in their field. Since last two or three years I have became kind of partially robotic person who doesn't enjoy much or doesn't bother much about bad things. I believe that time is remedy for everything. By the way if everything goes according to plan then I will be in USA in October, for conference at Sacramento. It's an AIPG national conference. If you have time and if you want we can meet. Have fun 🙏
@@laxman18 Unfortunately, I won't be at that conference, but let me know which others you will attend and maybe we will eventually overlap at one! :)
Rachel: I had to laugh about your reaction to reviews of your paper. I just acted as corresponding author on a paper by my last MS student (she was first author of course, it was her thesis) and we went around and around with the associate editor, who basically didn't know what he was talking about. I even threatened to withdraw the paper! the paper finally was sent out for re-review and the third reviewer (ever hear of the third reviewer) agreed with us and then the senior editor finally intervened and removed the associate editor and agreed to publish the paper. I am 71 years old, so this never ends! Dealing with grant proposal reviews is even worse, let me tell you!
You are doing a wonderful job on your videos! Don't let it take too much time from your PhD research.
Hi Jay! I just responded to your email :)
Thanks for the comment, I always love getting feedback from people who have experience being the corresponding author. Wow, that story sounds really difficult and tedious. I feel like I would be too scared to go against something the editor is saying but I know sometimes it must be done, I just need to build up my courage and confidence in my field. I actually just reviewed my first paper and that was quite confidence building I must say!
Anyway, it was a happy ending to my story! We went through 2 moderate revisions, 1 minor, and the paper was published!🎉 It wasn't my first paper, but it was my first time as corresponding author, and I am so glad that it was a relatively mild experience (relative to the horror stories I have heard haha).
Looking forward to those grant proposal reviews you mentioned ;)
Thanks again for the comment and sharing your experience!
Some pertinent questions:
1. Is a Bachelor's degree in geology enough to get started in the profession, or should you really get a Masters or PhD?
2. How do students and graduates get their first paid field experience if their college doesn't have a work/study co-op option?
3. How necessary is it to get accredited by a geology association?
4. What proportion of geologists end up working in natural resources, government, education, non-geological science and tech, etc.?
5. How important is continuing education to keep your knowledge up to date?
6. What are some of the advisable, useful skills and certificates to get that usually aren't available from geology school?
I like breaking rocks, shiny rocks, translucent rocks... because they rock. ;)
Here’s a little from one of your students.
President of an e and p company for 30 years. Sold out in 2017. Now retired.
Many geotreks. Including ophiolites in Turkey, platform carbonates in the Alps. Turbidite fans in the Pyrenees, oil seeps in Portugal, impact breccias in Nevada and all over Scotland. Perhaps most relevant to you was a visit to the Arkaroola Geopark in Australia. This is where Sir Reggie Spriggs discovered and identified fossilized stromatolites. He also named the Ediacaran. His daughter gave me an autographed copy of her book ‘Rock Star’ about her father.
My interests include early life forms, chemical origin, anaerobic and Archean bacteria and how bacterial evolution forces higher order life to evolve.
I follow presenters such as Jack Szostak and Dianne Newman.
If you have time you might check Nick Zenter at Nickontherocks. He is one of the best UA-cam yackers. Maybe because Washington state has very active geology.
Thanks. You’re terrific!
Wow you have had quite the journey! So many amazing places, that's so cool and inspiring. Also, thanks for sharing the info about the presenters and youtuber! I just checked Nick Zenter out and I am already in love with his channel! I'll have to check out the Rock Star book as well, sounds super interesting. Thanks again, I think you are the terrific one! ;D
Thank you very much for sharing. It is really nice to learn and know more about you. I’ve always been fascinated with the natural world, by what it is today, and what it use to be, which is why I really love to watch your amazing and interesting videos. They are always very informative. I wish you a very bright future and a promising career. Keep doing what you love, don’t let anything stand in your way, and keep inspiring other people. I wish you the very best, Rachel.
Wow this is one of the nicest comments I have ever received, thank you! These are the kind of comments that keep me so excited to continue posting videos, especially when it's coming from someone who is a fellow UA-cam creator (who's channel I also love)! So, thanks Smilo ;) I wish you the best as well!
@@GEOGIRL You’re very welcome my friend. As one fellow UA-cam creator to another, I encourage you to keep it up with the great work and continue posting more interesting and informative videos on your amazing channel. And it makes me really happy to know that you also love my channel, thank you Rachel. 😉❤️😊
Hardest thing to overcome is getting started...😔
Cool. I graduated from UTEP in 1990 with an MS in Geology. (Yeah, I'm an old guy.) My Thesis was on volcanic features associated with Aden Crater. I went back to UTEP for a visit last year and how the campus has changed!
That is so cool! So you know Drs. Goodell, Pingitore, and maybe Anthony?
@@GEOGIRL I didn't have Dr. Anthony, but I had one class with Dr. Pingitore, and several with Dr. Goodell. Sadly, I think most of the teachers I had have passed away.
Just now getting to watch this one. Go miners! I'm a Miner as well, just at a different school lol. Missouri S&T.
Oh that's so cool! Yes, I think there are probably many schools that are 'miners'! haha
Hardest thing to overcome:
Living in Ontario Canada, i've climbed a steep limestone cliff-slope of the Niagara escarpment. Easier than river valley talus honestly but the escarpment is made of limestone so... definitely the escarpment.
I love your enthusiasm for the Geosciences, especially Geochemistry.
Thanks so much! I am so glad you like it ;D Do you study geochem also, or do you just like learning about it? :)
Just like learning about it. It is interesting. I took some chemistry in college but not as advanced as you are probably required to use. I never had any formal training in Geology but I had some OJT as a former Oil Well Driller.
I've always had an interest in the Geosciences. If I was younger, i would probably go back to college and get a degree in it.
@@brucewinningham4959 I am the same way. I absolutely love my career path but there are so many things I am interested in that part of me always wishes to go back and get degrees in the other things I'm interested in haha! But we only live once, so geology it is ;)
I have always loved learning about rocks and underground stuff. I worked with a lot of different geologists in the oil field.
Many of these geologists were Superb but one who''s experience & background had been in the coal mining industry was unfoerunately out of his league in the oilfield. Pretty harsh conditions one will sometimes have to work in the oilfield. It is definitely NOT always a "gravy train." LOL
Given my interests in the Geosciences, does it include training in Geophysics?
Rachel, you are the best! GeoGirl rocks!!
So glad you are enjoying my videos ;) Thanks for the kind words!
It was smart to update the geoscience department name to Earth, Environmental and Resouces sciences. Communication matters.
Rachel you are a fighter! And a winner😉
I’m very indecisive rn bc I love science especially geology and etc but I also
Want to major in creative writing and film so this video and many other ones are helping so thank you !!
Aw, I am so glad to hear that it was helpful for you!
You know what might be interesting for you to try! I have always wished that science fiction books & movies were more scientifically realistic (because I hate that so many people think aliens will all look like little green people lol), so maybe you could intertwine your knowledge of science with making really awesome creative stories that give the public a more real and exciting outlook on scientific possibilities! Even some actual scientific realities are more weird and exciting than some sci fi stories haha. I mean the fact that organisms exist on Earth that don't breathe oxygen, or survive in environments 100s of degrees hotter than humans, or that all life on earth could have come from Mars (panspermia hypothesis), or that one of Jupiter's moons could have an entire world of life living in a completely ice-sealed ocean, or that millions of years ago life on Earth was only in the oceans and there were sea scorpions the size of sharks lol! These things are incredible and yet most sci fi is always the same old, unrealistic stories that makes people think that Earth itself isn't already exciting enough!
Anyway, sorry to rant, just a thought, haha. Good luck!
The hardest thing ever? Flying into El Paso to do basic at Ft. Bliss.
1:10 So this is why we get all the Europa videos!
Geoscience > Bioscience
Always find content about the geology of the earth 🌎 millions of years ago fascinating and interesting and your content is very entertaining/educational. Look forward to seeing your upcoming astrogeoligical videos.
I ❤️GEO GIRL
Haha, I love that you keep calling it astrogeology instead of astrobiology. I mean they are different I guess, but so intricately related that I don't know if it's possible to say one is 'better' than the other ;) In any case, I love the enthusiasm as always Joe! And I am glad to hear at least someone is exciting for the upcoming astro-geobio content ;D
Three minutes in and you haven't said a single thing. Just absolutely brutally soul-crushing that this can pass as a piece of informative content.
So sorry you didn't find the video helpful! I wish you had a better experience with it. You can try checking out my geoscience career video which is a little bit more information packed: ua-cam.com/video/d22wgbrwmzA/v-deo.html but in any case, I hope you can find what you need even if it is not on my channel! And I hope you consider studying geology :)
so geo girl really means girl of the earth. awesome
Yep :)
This is why I love geology too! It can be anything you want it to be! What an interesting way you fell into geology… I’m here because of Leonardo DiCaprio 😂
Please excuse me Stephanie but what did Leonard DiCaprio have to do with you choosing Geology?
@brucewinningham4959 Possibly the movie - Blood Diamond
Hi i would like to share with you about my experience. Currently i study geology with focou in ichnology continental of upper cretaceous trying understand paleoenvironment compound by sistem fluvial distributive where it's dominated by ichnofacies Scoyenia.
Great video
Wow, ichnology is something I don't hear super often, but is so interesting and useful, good for you! Ah, yes Scoyenia, that name brings me back to sed/strat haha. Sounds like very cool research, I hope you continue to make strides in your field, good luck! And thanks for watching and supporting my videos ;D
If I had seen this video (and one other on 20+ careers) in 1958 (when I was a HS sophomore!), I would have been inspired to seriously consider becoming a geology student. I just sent the links to my science-oriented 15-year old grandson.
Aw, so glad to hear that! I hope your grandson will be inspired to pursue science ;D Thank you for sharing it!
Great job btw. You have a lot of interesting content.
Thank you! :)
Your parents should be very proud of you.
Earth, environmental and resource sciences - great!!
This also relates directly to atmospheric sciences, sustainability, ecology and the history and fate of civilization, including industrial civilization, which is rather important, to make a mild understatement. Included would also be evolutionary biology. It goes on and on. In the long run, industrial civilization is headed for decline, maybe even collapse, and the preservation of scientific and cultural information will become important, and not in the distant future.
Have you heard of Dr. Jasmina Weimann? You are like her, she studies the effects of diagenesis on organic material on a molecular level. If you haven't heard of her, check her out. She graduated from Yale, and I think she is a postdoc at Caltech.
Thanks! I will check her out :D
Hello thank you for this video
I'll be starting my bachelor of science major in geoscience this August.
I plan to specialize in geomorphology for my masters🤗♥️
Wow already planning a masters before you've started your bachelors! Very impressive! Best of luck ;D
@@GEOGIRL Thank you, I have a passion for what this subject entails. Plus enduring 4 years of geography took alot of dedication😂😂
The fear of failure and my fear of MATHEMATICS 😂😂💀
Either that or Astro physics.
Samples from Mars will be brought back to Earth before long. Since Mars had seas, would you be qualified to examine those samples? If solar panspermia (by impactors, say) is a thing, then there could be microscopic fossil evidence or even stromatolites.
I mean I could technically examine them and be able to tell the general setting they may have been deposited in and whether they contain visible evidence of past life, but I would need a mass spec and a lot more expertise in mars rocks to actually be able to say anything we don't already know haha!
Everyone who has submitted a paper for review at a journal knows that they are opening their work to criticism. The critique(s) should be professional and helpful, especially if the author is just getting started in the field. If this is not the case you should contact the editor and request more professional reviewers. Just like a good journal should hold its authors to high standards, so should those authors hold the journal review process to equally high standards.
I completely agree, and I did not mean to make it sound like the reviews were unprofessional, they were professional. I just get really nervous when I have to take criticism especially from scientists I look up to so much. I have heard stories of people getting mean or nasty reviews so I get nervous that I will get some like that, but so far have not received anything like that thankfully. I just need to get better at not taking constructive criticism about my work personal as if it is criticism about my abilities as a scientist. I will get better at this with time :)
I would be interested in how area around my home in Denver has changed over 100s of millions. 10s of millions. Thousands of years.
Rachel good luck
I really enjoyed listening to you. You didn't tell us what sport you were involved in.
I played golf in college :) But as a youngen before college I played a lot of sports, but my main thing was gymnastics ...until I broke my back and my knees and had to quit lol, so then I took up golf really late, when I was 16, but thankfully I still got a college scholarship! :D
16:00 You are that interesting.
You are biased because you already know everything about you, so for you it's boring. But for us, we are just learning it.
Hi! Thank you for the amazing video. I'm finishing high school right now, so I'm considering my future and I was wondering if you could offer some insight into studying either Geoscience or Applied and Enviromental Geoscience, your personal opinions and preferences. I'm an active caver and I've had my eyes on geoscience for some time, but now that I have to choose between those two, I'm wondering which path is more suited for me
Remember the experts laughed at Einstein once!
U r my inspiration i always follow you 💖
But you so funny😀
👍 💪👏
i'm late on this one lol, but thx for doing this -- it would be really helpful to grad school hopefuls i think.
a have a few family questions -- broadly and without getting too personal, but what do your parents do? commercial work? are they academics? what areas are their geo interests vs yours? whats it like now when you all talk shop at home? thanks --
❤️
Great vid, I'm curious, Did u apply to university with just bio and Chem or also physics?
👌👌
I cant find the video to the careers video 🤔
Haha, I haven't made it yet, it is on my calendar, but it's gonna be a little bit before I can upload it sorry! I promise I will try and get it out soon!
I would love to watch the video too!
Geoscience and earth science and geology are all different?
Well, technically geology is the study of earth so I guess earth science and geology are more or less the same. However, I like to use the term geoscience when I am referring to all the geo-sciences/disciplines within geology, such as geochemistry, geophysics, biogeochemistry, geobiology, etc. Not sure if everyone uses these terms this way, but this is how I use them haha. ;)
I would love to do lots of field work especially if it has something to do with exploration.
Would you recommend me to study geoscience or plain geology?
I live in Germany btw
Hi Rachel what can you recommend for me who's currently pursuing Bsc in Geology/Chemistry (double major) thanks
Ooh! What a great question, but hard to answer unless I knew more about your interests and passions. I would say if you are at all passionate about teaching, go get your PhD in geochem and become a professor to teach and do research (or just a lecturer if you just want to teach, but that doesn't pay much unfortunately). Or if you don't want to teach, but you like research, get your PhD and then look for a research scientist position at a national lab type institution like PNNL, ORNL, USGS, NOAA, NASA, WHOI, etc. If you like the research side of things, you can work as a research scientist at these types of institutions, but you would also do lots of writing for grants and publications, so if you'd rather do less writing, but be in a lab setting, you can actually make quite a bit as a lab tech running samples for researchers if you gain expertise on a specific analytical instrument (e.g., Synchrotron, TEM, XPS, ICPMS/OES, etc.). OORRR, if you don't want to teach or do research, you can go into industry (oil, gas, mining, environmental, etc.), which typically only requires an MS. But I don't know as much about what those jobs entail since I don't do them. I am sure, however, they still require a bit of research, but probably also require a very specific skill set that would be dependent on which industrial job you choose. And remember that industry doesn't automatically mean bad for the planet, most oil and gas companies have renewable energy sectors that are working to implement clean energy technologies too.
@@GEOGIRL thanks you a lot
Hlo mam im geology student of bsc 3rd year, i have a doubt about it, what are the jobs available for us after completion of my ms geology. Pls give me a clarity on this mam .
Hi there, I have a video specifcally answering this question actually haha, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/d22wgbrwmzA/v-deo.htmlsi=nZub48kDiinyU5Bf
You can do sooo much with an MS in geo, don't quit! :D
Hi Rachel, I am a geology student.i done my master in geology and I haven't idea what should I do rite now because I need a job.do I prepare for csir net exam please tell me..
What field in geology did you specialize in? Would you rather work in industry or academia?
Hey! I just found out my school offers a degree in geoscience and changed my major. Since writing is a huge part of being a geoscientist, would you say minoring in creative writing or English be a good idea?
Hi Rachel! I'm an Italian Geologist😊 what software do you use to make this type of video where we see your webcam but also your presentation?😊
Hi there, I use zoom! I don’t even pay for it, I just open the “personal room” on the free version and start recording. But you have to go into your settings to make sure it is set to record your screen as well as your face at once. I think the option you have to check off is called “optimize for video recording or third party” something like that. If you still have trouble getting it to work, let me know! 😊
@@GEOGIRL thank you so much! I'll try!!!😊
I hope you reply because I really need an advice, my question is "should I continue studying geology or should I quite and start studying another science putting in mind that I've always been an excellent student since I start studying I mean should I study something different and more appreciated?!"
Continue Geology!! I am not sure what is meant by 'more appreciated', it is so necessary that we bring geologist numbers back up these days! I hope you continue with geology :)
Hi Rachel... Can i do masters in geoscience having bachelors degree in physics...
Absolutely! Go for it! :D
I'm voting down every one of your videos because UA-cam keeps recommending your channel to me.
Oh I am sorry you don't like my content, but I understand it is not for everyone. I suggest that you do not thumbs down or comment on the videos because youtube sees that as 'engagement' and youtube will just continue to recommend you my content in that case. Again, sorry about that, just a suggestion ;)
@@GEOGIRLno way you replied to that comment so sweetly please be my phd guide 😭
@@smileydaisy-qt3md I’m sorry I am not a professor yet, just a postdoc, but maybe someday! ;)
OMG just stop it. You should be open about how she is computer generated. Keep working on the Blade Runner programing like she doesn't want to know. Just like the movie we'll walk right in to it totally aware and fall so much harder.. (Actually maybe that's what this video is all about?) Anyway its not about this particular mode of presentation. Really its just a voice (that you could switch out and replace) and the bit of full screen video at the start for us to cling to in our mind. Its about the fact that our text book company is the only one who loves us and cares about us and will ever or can ever help us and teach us. You are going to be bigger than Microsoft if you are the one. Its funny because as scientific language software companies you will know exactly what high level human thinking needs to be trained for because you only ever pay for it if you have to and you don't run it as a bourgeoisie jobs project.
