I feel your painMSci geoscience, graduated 2008 and still no joy with work in the field. It'll turn around eventually though. Probably.

Geology graduateI spent a year looking for work after graduating then got a job working as a `Surface Data Logger'.....sorry `mudlogger'....sorry `shitbagger' in the oil industry.
I worked in Angola, the Congo, Tunisia for 18 months and it had it's moments...crap money though. Wasn't happy to develop my career by flying out to anywhere at a moment's notice and not actually having a life of any kind.
It was bad enough then getting a job (mid 90s) but it's a picnic compared to now...

So I've been told,however, I've been reliably informed by me old tutor, a man who made a fortune in a Mineral Exploration team in South Africa, that the industry has no time for graduates as it's too costly and inefficient to train them up. I mean, why bother when senior and experienced geologists are in the plucking and the market is a-booming especially in metals and oils.
