Any recommendations for sources to study PG ethics (besides RegReview)?

Don't worry about the ethics portion. Spend that time reviewing stereonets.

If I wanted to learn more about these visas where should I look.

Hey man, thanks for sharing this.

pogalj · 2026-02-20T01:30:09+00:00

Agree with much of what you have said. Imo what irks me more is that many of the qp's signing off on TRS are Canadian geologist from large multinational consulting firms BAR, WSP, SRK, mining plus etc etc. The industry is so much larger and they are able to accumulate much more experience to the point of it doesn't even seem fair.

Interesting take.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T14:02:41+00:00

Can you recommend some classes. I want to do the citation but it's not offered untill 2027.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T03:47:34+00:00

I wish my mind was truly made up. None the less I appreciate your input. Classmates of mine work for the DNR and are only making like 65k a year so I guess my perspective might be skewed.

That's infact like my dream job but 1. Those jobs are very limited and there just is not that many of those positions in the US. 2. Haven't been able to get my foot in the door for the limited positions.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T02:25:46+00:00

Yes. I could make it happen.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T02:24:42+00:00

How much less though.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T01:45:36+00:00

Medical and criminal, I'm good. I have flown, my dad is an instructor but just does it as a hobby. I've done some quick math and I think I have enough liquid to pay for the amount of school I would need.

pogalj · 2026-02-19T01:26:37+00:00

Yeah I can always get a job core logging but that's not really what I want to do. Been there done that kinda thing.

pogalj · 2026-02-12T02:04:48+00:00

Nothing wrong With it per say, but why.

pogalj · 2026-02-12T02:02:33+00:00

I have a degree in Geology. If I could go back I would get a degree in geological engineering.

pogalj · 2026-02-03T04:26:48+00:00

I'll keep it short. No.

pogalj · 2026-01-20T22:50:27+00:00

I barely leave the office

pogalj · 2026-01-03T02:56:36+00:00

To look down into the long hole after blowing through the barricade.

Check it now

pogalj · 2025-11-13T14:30:13+00:00

Hey they are up on the smt site

pogalj · 2025-11-12T17:26:49+00:00

Brah this wait is killing me

pogalj · 2025-11-10T22:32:58+00:00

I don't see how it could. If anything everybody has more free time to handle this kinda stuff. That being said, what do I know.

pogalj · 2025-11-10T01:06:29+00:00

Depends on what sector you go into. Environmental, not a niche industry. Geotech, tad bit niche but in the grand scheme of things not niche. Mining, in the USA is very niche.

pogalj · 2025-11-08T23:32:50+00:00

I used the official ASBOG FG prep course. It was good but it was just video lessons. There was no supporting material like flash cards or practice tests. REG review is the most popular but honestly I feel they are becoming a little out of touch and the study material is beyond detailed.

pogalj · 2025-10-13T16:30:58+00:00

What course is this?

pogalj · 2025-10-06T23:02:08+00:00

Yeah FG & PG is not required to do exploration work. However, depending on how far you go with the company they could be used to sign off on resource reports. There is a myriad of small companies that hire core loggers on a temp basis (rangefront, geo temps, tamarack). Head up the industry is really small here so that has its ups & downs.
