Hi I'm thinking of becoming a Paleornithologist when I'm older, I've just got a few questions for any people in this profession on here: I know the term 'paleornithologist' isn't actually a real title for a job, but something along the lines is what I mean. (Paleontologist that studies relationship between birds and dinosaurs.etc) Because I really love birds and dinosaurs and the evolutionary science behind the relationship. 1. With your work, how often do you go out an do field work/study? Eg. Capture birds and examine them? 2. How does a student studying ornithology/paleontology find themselves in a position like this? 3. How often do you get to work with theropod dinosaur fossils and paleontologists? 4. I know this is kind of a private question, and it doesn't have to be answered ; is your salary comfortable to live with? For example if you were to travel or raise a family? 5. How does an ornithologist get themselves 'higher in the ranks' when starting off? Any answers are appreciated, Thanks!
