I resemble that remark! Well, at least partly. I'm a geologist, and job prospects are quite scarce! I'm currently employed as an Engineering Specialist. I'll disagree with you about your disparity between geologists and cavers. There's a big overlap. I have several friends who work for oil companies. Certainly you can argue about the policies of some oil companies, but the geologists are just hunting for oil. They tend to LOVE the environment. And I drive a car, and I need oil. Yep, I want more and more earth-friendly cars and alternatives (like bicycles!). But I don't blame geologists for the problems.Plethodon wrote:Larry E. Matthews wrote:

Mr. Mathews good idea has. Even geology work limited if one not also businessman or teach or know other skills like computer or know somebody. Not many persons care about rocks. Where are rock museums, rock zoo or parks only because of rocks. Are few, but not many. If like sparkly rocks and caves is good, but make living elsewhere. Geology persons break rocks, cave persons save rocks. Talk to each other not much.

Yep. American geologist like to have hammers and bang on rocks. It breaks the rocks so you can get a look at a fresh surface to be able to identified the rock better. My guess is that geologists who aren't in the know about caves, are probably as good or bad as the rest of the world in regards to taking cave of caves.Plethodon wrote: Carry hammer everywhere, bang on rocks, ground--maybe geologist I know is strange. Geologists not run oil companies. Oil companyes run by businessman, have geologist work for them. Maybe American geologists not have hammers. I do not know. Sorry again if offend you.
