Great question anna! I chose geology because it was a perfect fit for my hobbies outside of work (i.e. outdoor activities like backpacking) and I really like the people that I’ve met in geology and their enthusiasm and passion for science. I love being outdoors. And geology continually gives me all of these great opportunities that I don’t really see other friends getting in other disciplines. I’m continually adding more reasons to why I love geology and why I chose it as I meet new people and have new and diverse experiences. I hope those things will last throughout my career!
I chose geoscience as a discipline pretty much everything about the earth fascinates me. I also like how nothing stays the same for very long, and this presents a challenge as you constantly come across new discoveries.
Hi Anna, nice name 🙂
I think I’ll also link my previous answer to this, that actually links another previous answer..well, that’s the proof I like puzzles, right?
I am passionate about the outdoors. As a kid I used to go out camping, caving, and hiking. I had questions about how mountains formed. I chose this job because it enabled me to understand more about the Earth and it gave me the freedom to conduct research in the topics that I cared about. I also enjoy feeling useful to society and I accomplish this by teaching students about geology and communicating with the general public about natural hazards.
I have touched quite a number of different scientific fields. Doing research in geology was a natural step, as I was always fascinated about how the Earth in general works. 🙂

I’ve answered in a bit more detail in this question! /earthj14-zone/2014/06/13/why-do-you-choose-this-job/
I also like how geology is basically a combination of all the core sciences + things to do with the Earth and the oceans.
