Hello Older and Younger Granites!!!

Do you recall and relish those good old days in school...the lecturers, the lecture, the courses, the assignments especially Map reading and interpretation, the photocopy of 'materials', the hoarding of materials by some coursemates, the school library adventures, the night classes, the exams, the field trips, the seminars, the technical sessions in Oil & Gas coys, e.t.c.

Do you still remember those GEOLOGY BOOKWORMS IN YOUR CLASS/DEPARTMENT...'JACOPHITES', 'JACKOPHYTAS' 'JACKSONS', 'JACKY', etc...especially their intimidating postures when it comes to studying...particularly as exam approaches...Chai...I was one of them...Ha ha ha...My room mates used to 'fear', 'envy', 'respect' me...and by extension, All Geology students. Reason: They thought it was crazy to study "stones"..that is "Rocks" and give them names...Ha ha ha.

Do you still reflect on how you envisioned the glorious future ahead of you...

The thoughts of graduating well...say with "at least good grades' in Naija, and venturing the Oil and Gas Industry to practise what you read in school was like heaven on earth...

BUT...Here comes the Big Bang upon graduation...the dreams, aspirations, visions, hopes, foci, desires, ambitions, glory, yearnings, cravings, longings and pathways of many promising geologists and geoscientists appears to have taken so long to crystallize...

Truly, many geologists have been skewed of their once desireable glorious discipline and future for innumerable reasons...

This thread is focused ONLY on helping the 'GEOLOGY COMMUNITY AND ALLIED DISCIPLINES' to find their pathway again in this discipline..

Hence, relevant and genuine information that will help a fellow professional is highly welcome...

@ Practising Geologists: Your inputs are needed here since you already made it...You can inspire, motivate, share, help, connect, link-up and recommend somebody somehow to somewhere...

@ Undergraduate Geologists: We learnt those days in GLY 101 that, "The present is key to the past"...But in Naija today..."The past is key to the present"....So, sit tight and draw some great and useful lessons you can apply in your wonderful geology career.

@ All Geologists that still believe in themselves...SEE YOU AT THE TOP AND NOT FROM THE TOP!...SHALOM!
