What is it like to be a paleontologist?

I'm currently studying to become a doctor (which I love) and I'm very good and learning about anatomy, but recently I've been wondering about paleontology. What is it like to be a paleontologist? I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs. My friend told me that he job shadowed for a paleontologist, and he said there is a lot of office work, and that it's a very boring job. Is it a lot of office work? Is it boring? #doctor #paleontologist #dinosaurs
