What is something to look forwards in archeology and paleontolgy?
I wonder what is the working environment, the material to work on, would you make discoveries or help out with discorveries, im assuming one would work in groups if so how would it look like?

Hello J,
Your inquiry has gone through my weekly mail. You are like a mentor to me, and unfortunately, my advice will be shallow just like the song of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper :-). Actually, my background is in Economics.
1. Building Skills Early
Don’t wait until you graduate to start learning. Free online courses, volunteering, or even small side projects can give you valuable experience. Employers often look for initiative and curiosity, not just degrees. Think of skills as tools—you’re collecting them now so you’ll be ready when opportunities appear.
2. On Confidence and Growth
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s built by trying, failing, and trying again. Every time you step outside your comfort zone, you grow. Celebrate small wins, like finishing a project or speaking up in class, because those moments add up to big growth. This advice is for when you go to college.
From my international perspective, because I live in the Balkans, near Greece and Italy. Exploring paleontology in Albania is exciting because the country has a rich geological history and fossil sites that connect you to the story of life on Earth. Even if you don’t become a paleontologist, the curiosity and discipline you develop will help you in school, future jobs, and everyday life. Keep asking questions, keep reading, and keep exploring—you’re building both knowledge and confidence that will serve you well in any field.
Hope it helps. Good luck!
