One of the most underappreciated jobs. How can someone find prehistoric life not interesting???
ikr so MANY many millions of years ago, that just blows my mind
I know right? It’s so weird?
@@bomobeel same😌
@@bomobeel follow your dreams kid...Go get it 👍
I have dreamed about paleontology studies since my early childhood. It was couple of years ago, that I realized it is possible to study here, where I live... So now im taking steps to fulfill my dream as a 32 year old paleo-nerd, whose passion have never seized to exist. We dont actually have fossils in our ground, or atleast they are extremely rare... Most of the recearch is taking place in other countries in Europe and Africa.
A message from my son: Hi, my name is Jaxson. I found a fossil in my yard. I really like fossils too and I really like your videos.
Just remember, Science is NOT boring!
especially when inventing an Atom Bomb
I think Paleontology is the most useless study... Niggas getting their Ph.D in that weak sht.
Like getting your Ph.D in Egyptology and you’re from the state. Niggas be on the History channel speaking about findings and only stepped foot in The Met museum in Manhattan, NY. or liberal arts with no attachment.. no math and science, or History just Liberal Arts.. I never got those garbage. At least English makes more sense but half these niggas don’t even know archaic language, or grammatical structure... why do English and only do modern? Why not Old? Some of these courses they offer students much more Ph.D’d in is to take money....
Shawty told me she’s going to get her masters degree in cosmetology... I was actually impressed. I’m thinking she’s going to be doing surgery, and probably even do some extra courses to become a plastic surgeon and crap.. Shawty said: nah, I’m more of an esthetician.... Meaning shawty going to school just to apply make up. These majors stupid asf!
All these random ass, nonsensical degrees out here and niggas still don’t have one... Just get your bachelors in Liberal Arts (forget the attachment just get that sht) you’ll be respect for having a degree but not respected for the field but at the end of the day you have a degree! Or do something in video games... if yahl lazy. My friend got an associates degree and gets paid $50-70 an hr to test video games. He even does traveling and is about to start a UA-cam channel to increase the funds... YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN!!! Yahl just playing video games or making comments spending hours on the sht, not knowing you could become a professional commentator, making reviews on movies, software, programs Tv’s etc... and get paid to do so... Smh. Just plan!!! We got these 80 yo telling us what we like.... how th do you know? “I was young too”... sthu niggas playing cards without numbers times evolve bluh!
@@MayhemMilIer we can all tell you have no education. Why are you calling science useless? Look in the mirror next time you call anything useless.
@@joeye7518 Did you read everything i said?
@dinosaur geek thats just wishes and dreams lil homie
Go for it! If you're still looking for colleges, find one with a good geology program. You'll need a lot of knowledge about earth processes and rocks out in the field. Bio is good, too! As is physics and chemistry. You should definitely get a degree if you haven't already- your job opportunities will expand. It's a hard field to get into, but keep working for it!
Good luck!
- A Geology and Anthropology Student
Man, I'm so glad that I am a Paleontology Major.
I'm thinking about double majoring in Paleontology and Anthropology, I'm just nervous that everything has already been discovered. And that, there will be nothing to do when I have completed college.
Ark Fire I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THOUGHTS!!
Yea.
Abhi Nath Are you already working on this area?
oh god, im pretty sure not even a fraction of a percent has been discovered, there is ALWAYS something new
checking this vid out as I'm currently doing a biology degree and torn between pursuing a doctorate in zoology or paleontology and want to know what i'm getting myself into.
The fact that it's labour-intesive outdoor work as well as applied scientific knowledge and mathematics in a lab is kinda mindblowing, paleontologists definitely do not get the recognition they deserve.
Fun fact: everyone here wants to be paleontologist ❤️❤️ just like me🤭
Well not me, but my son does so I’m trying to learn about it!
As a Jr I’m high school needing to look at colleges next year I can definitely say that’s true
Me I want to be a paleontologist so bad
@@Groovingonem you are a good father
Since I was 2 I wanted to be a paleontologist
I always had a bad outlook on school because of my ADHD that was never taken care of or realized when I was a child living at home. I am 19 and with a bleak outlook on school, was just introduced to proper medication for my ADHD due to my sister in laws help. I was able to focus for once in my life and it was freeing. So I made a 10 year plan. I’m gonna be going to college with goals of achieving my masters in Paleontology and possibly consider getting my PDH further down the line aswell. I’ve always loved the idea of studying prehistoric life but I was held back and due to never being able to focus on one task for more than 5 minutes. I’m so excited for my future and can’t wait to possibly meet some of the greats on my way up the chain. Thank you for taking the time to read, have a wonderful day. :)
you can do it!
shout out to all the female paleontologists out there you are my inspiration
Why only females? They do the exact same work as the men do.
Syrvys she is a female so the female workers are her inspiration oh my 🤦🏽♀️😭.
@@syrvys2691 maybe because women are vastly outnumbered by men in scientific fields? it's normal for women to have other women as role models because we can relate to them more than we can to men, especially when we are the minority in a field. Doesn't mean the men in a field are valued any less.
I like people who do a good job... Doesn't matter what skin color, gender or creed. I don't shout out to random people I dont know and say they are my inspiration solely because I am speaking too broadly and could be speaking about people who are female but may be a great example of bad work ethics, lying or many other non-inspiring qualities. Therefore, I personally like to use specific examples of people in stead of generalities based on anything besides the quality I am speaking of.
@@n.c.1201 you must be fun at parties.
I said I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was 2 this is my dream job.
Me too!
Daisukin same here but 3
Daisukin I said I wanted to be one while still in the womb.
+Jack J man gtfo I said I wanted to be one when I was just a thought in my parents head #getfuckingrektskrub
@@lovespringfreshness really? I said it when I was in my 13 year old Dad's nutsack, before he even wanted a child. Get outta here
I'm so glad I'm studying dinosaurs while I'm young so I can get ahead on this career
First semester almost done
I would love to be a paleontologist! Thanks for sharing this. My heart is really pumped.
I've always loved dinosaurs and so have my family and I have thought about paleontology and I think that's the perfect job for me! Looks like so so sooo much fun
Worked very little in the fields a few years ago but I enjoyed the hell out of it
I want to be a paleontologist soon its fun and exiting and I had many books about dinosaurs!
This looks so f-ing cool! I’d love to do this.
I'm a not a paleontologist, Im a neuroscience Phd student, but all sciences are the same in this respect. You have to love it.
I live in the CT, so are there any colleges nearby that can help me to become a paleontologist? By the way, exclude Yale, that is only for the most intelligent.
Great video!
thank you i rally want to be a paleontologist when i grow up
I've been messing around not having a clue what study to commit to for years.. This might be a good option for me
"...and even, seemingly boring." At least you're not always stuck in an office!! Science rocks!
Most paleontologists are stuck in a lab 98% of the time. Select few paleontologists are experts in the field although the weekend warriors claim they are experts.
This is my dream job, I am currently in school trying to get into this field!!
I’m only 12 but when I grow up I want to be a palaeontologist
Same
I would love to be a paleontologist when i can!
Very interesting stuff! Who was the narrator?
i loved this video
i like the video really much! :D
I want to be a paleontologist mainly focused on dinosaurs but the bad thing is I live in ohio which isn't exactly known for its dinosaurs. I would need to move to South Dakota or Montana etc
+Mr.PlushWinner Same. I live in Dubai.
You can always travel once you get your job
Maddenmiracles Move to Utah its the second best place in all of the Americas and in the world for paleontology. Paleontologist call it paleo Utopia!
Yeah I'm planning on working as a paleontologist but I live in Germany...
Same. I'm in michigan so I have the same situation as you. I have an unhealthy obsession with dinosaurs and I know probably half of the ones discovered.
Hate the sciences at school but this job was lowkey my dream from being young
Paleontologist are amazing
At what time does the team head back to their base camp (tents, trailers and stuff)?
looks like soooo much fun
This is my job when I grow up I can’t wait until I be a paleontologist
I want to be a paleontologist when I grow up. I have loved dinosaurs for so long and the job may be dirty and hard, but I believe in myself. If those guys can do it and are human, well I'm human to so I could do it. :) PALEONTOLOGY IS AWESOME!!
guys any advise for colleges for paleontology?
I’ve loved dinosaurs and wanted to be a paleontologist ever since I can remember. I remember getting TONS of books on it when I was young. But I also have questions. Do paleontologists travel a lot? I want a dog and also want a family.. would being a paleontologist fit my lifestyle or not?
I think it would, for a number if reasons:
1. Many people travel alot despite having families and make it work.
2. One excavation can be so delicate that it takes years to finish so it would be easy to relocate your family plus they wouldn't have to move more often than normal people.
3. Excavations are only a fraction of the work. You would study different bones and skeletons in museums and universities ( assuming they are close to where your family lives )so you wouldn't be away on excavations as much as you might think.
4. Even if you're away alot your children would be proud to have a palaeontologist as a parent.
So if it's your dream then work hard for it and keep going! I'm also thinking about becoming a palaeontologist but there are so many doubts and obstacles in my way.
Ever since I watched Jurassic Park I've wanted to be a paleontologist
Mateusz J same
I want to study dinosaurs and animals, the only thing is I don’t want to dig up fossils, I want to study them and try and find out what their life was like/dinosaur evaluations. Any advice on what I could become?
I want to become a paleontologist so bad :)'
Wow!! Jesus Christ amen! Jesus loves u
I'm in Colorado too, and I think Paleontology would be currently my number one job choice. Like what bloc was asking, what are the up and downsides?
love them I think its a themed bone in the leg
Looks sooo fun
im looking to become one in the future after school would you advize it i know alot about anatomical and biological sciences regarding animals
I want to be a palaeontologist! I would like to specialise in paleozoic oceans
So Cool
The downside is that you will have to work very hard, for many years in school. The upside, is that you will have to work very hard, for many years in school. You have to love to learn and discover or you will burn out by your junior year of college. Take it one step at a time, alot of people get so focused on the end goal that all of the "busy" work you'll have to do in intro level courses seems boring and burns them out. Enjoy the moment, every class, every paper, every interaction.
Ok I’m very patient but I know nothing about dinosaurs names can I still works as a paleontologist plz
I kind of wanted to do this but now I'm not so sure
Cool video! It's not shark teeth, but still pretty cool!
My son has been obsessed with dinosaurs and prehistoric animals since he was about 2 years old. In kindergarten they said it was a phase, he is now 8 years old and in grade 3 and the dream is still going strong. He has to go to the museum every year to look at the dinosaur exhibits. He watches as many documentaries as he possibly can and can identify and provide facts on hundreds of dinosaurs. He is borderline gifted and determined this is going to be his career path. Hopefully some day his dream will become reality.
Im a 16 year old with a dream of becoming a paleontologist. How long can it take for the full process of an average excavation to be completed?
Some People i know say"why do you want Such a childish job like that, you barely get payed anything"
I reply with, because i want to, its my dream and you cant ruin it. Paleontology is something i cant pass up
It is actually give great filing to study with friends in nature but it is hard
when i was like 6 i would a;ways go straight for the dinosaur books and they were for fifth graders and i was in first but that didnt stop me cause i always finished reading them and got extra points in book club
i wanna become a paleontologist but im not sure where to go or when to go like i live in new zealand and im not sure that they have paleontology work over here so idk might have to get a plane over to america
Codey Wright fossils are everywhere, some were even found in Antarctica
I'm a 13 year old girl from New Zealand who absolutely loves dinosaurs. I'm obsessed with them and I want to be a paleontologist. I research about them alot and in the past year I learnt so much about them and won a silver for my science fair project about dinosaurs. Hopefully when I'm older I will be able to carry with my dream of being a paleontologist
one day, i’ll be a paleontologist!
do you know what the bone is from? If it is bone.
Looking forward to become a paleontologist 😁
I'm interested in being a paleontologist, but I'm bad at math! I'm good in science and writing, along with language. I'm in 10th grade as well.
Omg same
+Kayley Russell Just remember that math is a learned skill just like a second language or anything. It's just like poetry or literature, if it was easy we all would be doing it.
Keep it up.
+Kayley Russell Don't give up I failed Algebra 1 Freshman year, and I'm pursuing Paleontology.
+TheMexican1821 dude same.
Queen Shiro I applied to Carthage and got in, but it was a little pricey so I am going to another Private University for two years and hopefully transfering.
Mathematically the fossil record is about 1.5 miles(~8000 ft) thick over 4.3billion years old so that is probably around 1/50 of an inch of sediment per 1000 years. Can anyone explain why I am getting these numbers?
i really want to become a paleontologist (or a paleobotanist) however, i am very bad at maths and ive read that you need an A level in it
kai james hucknall time to get good then
Very few people of inherently bad at math. You just gotta apply yourself! Work hard in class, get some extra help outside of class. Watch lots of math videos!
Same, idk what to do and this is my dream job
@@harrisoncoleman6306 you don't need to be massively good at maths, I checked a course and u only needed a CC in two A level subjects to get into this one university paelaeo course.
This is my dream when I was I kid!
So are you pursuing paleontology?
nah
parents said i’d be wasting my time.
tho imma go with geology
any job that involves the earth and field
is the best
exploring is the best teacher and gives out more experience
I have dreamed to dig dino bones in my hole life
This is my dream
I want I want to be a paleontologist
You have my dream job; I'm insanely jealous..!
I wonder if Ross Geller did this or not.
The best science.
To be honest it looks kinda fun
I wanna have job like that
Any indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🥰 here who is thinking about the way to become a paleontologists??
It's very hard for us 🙄🙄
Shame a lot of schools barely teach anything about Palaeontology.
I've always wanted to be a paleontologist I want to be a paleontologist when I grow up
♥ Jurassic Park ♥
I wanted to be a paleontologist at 7 when I watched jurassic park I fell in love with prehistoric animals I am from a Algeria so I don't think I have a chance for this job sadly
Hey I’d like to let you know that near the border of Algeria, in Morocco, there is a formation called the Kem Kem beds. Don’t know how close you live to Morocco, but it is an amazing formation. It has some of the biggest carnivorous dinosaurs in the world. See if you can contact anyone. Contacts are everything.
@@warhawk9466 i'am suprised i didn't see this reply . Thank you for the response . I will try my best for it :)
What should I be when I grow up ? A paleontologist or a zoologist??!!
Frenzyplants both
i am 14 and i want to be a paleontologists so i cant wait
Ricky Martinez You 21 now ?
So did you become a paleontologist?
I love dinosaurs!
Niceee really nice. :)

Can I be both a video game designer and paleontologist? I'm really inteested in both of them.
I know people with two jobs so I don't see why not.
Im a paleontologist but I work in schools, and the media so of course you can.
+Bible Black Girl666 (マリア・アンダーソン) are you an actual paleontologist? Like you are a professional who went to college and whatnot?
TD Gaming I wont call myself a professional but I finished collage and I worked in the fields.
+Bible Black Girl666 (マリア・アンダーソン) it's college. Are you sure you graduated?
This is my dream.
paleontology rocks
Iam 15 now and I want to a paleontologist
Who pays the paleontologists? Do they get salary or rewarded when successful?
Me to
Man i dont know what to do, I think paleontology is awesome but i also want to be a fish and game warden. Two totally different fields of work, its hard to chose
Same here. I want to be either a paleontologist or a software engineer xD
Arctic Wolf Robotist, Entomologist, Quantum Physicist I can't decide
I'm stuck between paleontology marine biology and medicine I'm so screwed
@@maddy_marinebiology7772 same but with Ecology instead of medicine
@@zero_meercat8624 oh god I can't handle ecology it bores the life out of me 😂 but fair play . Still none the closer to deciding but eh
school brought me here

I want to be a paleontologist, someday. But the problem is, i suck at math. And i'm at Grade 7, so i guess, it's too late.. ;(
Hate Poachers grade 7?! its not too late
Definitely not! 7th grade is still young! Just do half an hour of extra math after school roughly 5 times a week and you will pick yourself up. Math isn't he only thing you need to be good at for palaeontology. Follow your dreams and you can achieve anything!
RosesAreGold1 adzbxr1 Thank you.
Hate Poachers Actually, you don't have to do a lot of math! Just Science and Geometry! Well.. We have to go through Collage for 3 or 8 Years, and maybe University. But It's worth it! If we become Paleontologist's I'd LOVE to work with you ^-^
Siri Smiles I myself also want to become a paleontologist but quite frankly paleontology is such an obscure profession I don't know where to start. i know Yale, and Harvard are big names but besides that the only other one I can think of is the University of Maryland.
cool
This was my dream 5years ago in tinder
Who else wants to be paleontologist when they grow up
I like jurrasic park 1 2 and 3 I also like velociraptors
Scales or feathers more? I love both but I prefer the scales.
Do you like velociraptors from the Jurassic Park movies? Or actual velociraptors that, you know, are like the size of turkeys?
feathers are more realistic tho
I would be a palaeontologists but I struggle with math
I've been wanting to be one since I was age 4 or 5
Same
It has been a long time since you made this comment. What are you doing now a days?
