/academia/general?
I'm going to study geology? Anyone else here have any experience in the field?

Also could someone explain how the fuck I'm suppose to round significant numbers?

>>1613695
Yeah, i guess this could be an academia general.
I know some people that study geology. Some of them collaborate with archeologists, others do research but the majority goes for oil companies for the big bucks

>>1613685
Why would you do that?
And what sort of art degree is that?

How are they enjoying it?

How about mineralogy instead? It's pretty similar, more focused on ores though.

>>1613685
Why?

>>1613695
Where? 40% underemployment in Aus and unemployment in the teens at the moment. Word on the street is there will be an upturn soon so it might be well times to study now.

Sig figs, it's just everything has to be cut down to the smallest number of sig figs used, usually it's equipment gated but you might find you have a whole number that fucks with you a bit. It helps to make use of powers.

I'm feeling a little ill today, what's going on?

Academia general?

Who /first year grad student and still incredibly intellectually intimidated by the program veterans/ here? Fuck I get so nervous in the best of scenarios. This is not like my Cambodian basket weaving forum at all!

>Why would you do that?
Cause i was naive and wasn't aware of the value of a good education
>And what sort of art degree is that?
Comics and animation. It isn't so bad but the problem is that i kinda suck at drawing. I mean, i can draw some stuff but i'm not by any means a professional. I was way better at history and i felt like i was actually learning about something

Have you considered that perhaps you are not good at artistic drawings and paintings (comics), but you are good at depicting things?
The ability to depict accurately, to communicate (either something you see or something you imagine) is a completely different feat from the one needed in making a beautiful image.
In fact, the latter is needed by painters, but the former is essential for architects and sculptors.

cont.

Of course, drawing for these other arts is only a crutch. The important thing is that you are good at either sculpture or architecture, with drawings only helping you shape 3d stuff.

Well, people told me that i have a natural skill to create narrative sequences... It's just that you gotta have an enormous willpower to have the strenght to work on your stuff after coming home exhausted from a back breaking job

So comics it is.
Remember, jack of all trades, master of none is true in the arts.
The more you paint your comics, the worse your scenarios will get. And vice versa.
I would suggest working along with a drawing man.
