Hi Rodney,

What fossils did you find?

Is the situation amongst geologists really that bad now? I've been
studying geology in university and the aspect of everything seems to
have flipped in it's head. When I started my degree they were all
talking economic geology up; there was a shortage of graduates and
they were waving a carrot of a %75,000 per annum wage for graduates
fresh out of honours. Now, as I approach the end of my degree we are
in this economic downturn and Rio Tinto (who was one of the most
aggressive recruiter in the university) is cutting a lot of people
adrift.

Regards,

Reswob
