I got my geology degree several years ago at Mac. I also did not want to go on and get further education and in the end set off in a different direction for my career. But, I am still very happy that I chose geology as my major. I use it every time I walk outside. As I'm sure you've realized, it really changes the way you look at the world around you. Hopefully all of your new knowledge will come in extremely handy on your big trip. What to do with a geology degree is a topic I’ve given a lot of thought to myself.

(and I started to) In sum, yes I'd be very open to doing a new start-up. I have a lot of ideas. I'm very jaded about raising money. If I did it, I wouldn't want to do it on my own again. I'd want someone else to handle the finance and money raising, and general schmoozing. I not thrilled about doing my own angel investing. I did give it a try and the results were less than spectular (not a disaster, but not as good as it should have been). If I wanted to be a passive investor, I'd just trade stocks from my computer. Right now my focus in on finishing everything at school, selling my house, and getting my trip off the ground. I could write another long post on this subject. (and I started to)

Seems there are very few folks in Earth Sciences with your entrepreneurial experience, yet there's money floating around that world like any science discipline. Opportunity? Do you ever think about doing angel/vc investing of your own? Do you feel the siren call of the startup lifestyle any more?
