Initially I wanted to be a doctor, however this changed to a veterinarian because I was afraid I would make an error on the operating table and end up killing someone. I probably felt I wouldn't feel quite as guilty if it was an animal. When I graduated from high school I found out I had to have 4 months experience on a farm to get into vet college (Guelph was the only college at the time). So not wanting to spend the time on a farm, I chose Geology, as I loved the outdoors. I was never disappointed being a geologist...one the most exciting careers for a Calgarian, if you like rocks, and have the spirit of an old fashion prospector in you.
