I'm heading off to study Geology at Portsmouth Uni in October - hoping to branch off towards Petrology (looking for Oil) in my second or third year. Companies like BP and Esso are hiring Petrology graduates straight out of Portsmouth Uni and putting them in the US and New Zealand so it's my best ticket out of the country - plus Petrologists are in real high demand right now so it's a potential big earner too. Now all I need is the motivation and self discipline to actually do the work required for my degree.
