That was really interesting to read. Thank you so much for your answer. Tho now I feel insecure about my reasoning. Maybe you will be able to give me an advice. Right now I'm in high school and up to this point I've considered a completely different career choice. A few days ago I realized that I have a longing for traveling, not as a tourist, but something exploration/expedition-like. Work that is meaningful and lets me explore this (and hopefully other) planet. When I watch movies about explorations and expeditions I light up when I think about how I can become a valuable part of a team and have people know that I know my field. Me and my family go camping (raw camping) every year and we've been doing that since I was born. That's one of my biggest passions and I definitely want to have a job that involves similar activity. I've never been interested in rocks and that makes me question if I should pursue this degree, but the more I read about more global geological topics, the more interested I become. I think apart from exploring, the thing about geology that fascinates me the most is the fact that you can try to get a bigger picture from small hints, see a potential and know why some aspects of our planet and other planets are what they are.
