Hey everyone, One of my bigger regrets is that I didn't pursue paleontology in college. In my forties now, and the idea of getting a B.S. in Paleontology still has appeal to me, mostly as a personal goal, as I don't think I would ever try to pursue it professionally. Since there are no programs or courses of study near where I live (South Korea), nor am I willing to spend tuition money on something that is just a private passion, I thought I would try to create my own equivalent "B.S. in Paleontology" degree by reading and studying the same things I would have studied had I pursued it in college. I don't have access to lab equipment, and South Korea isn't a very good place to collect, so almost all of this course of study would be reading, and I wanted to ask the forum for advice. *What subjects are generally studied in pursuit of a Paleontology degree? What skills do paleontologists learn? *What textbooks or other readings would you recommend? *Are there any online resources you can recommend? If anyone has a university course list or syllabus for a Paleontology program and would be willing to share, I would be most appreciative.
