Paleontologists

Paleontologists find the fossils of animals or other organisms and identify facts about the fossils using scientific technology. They sometimes also study evolutionary biology.

Education and training: Typically, you need a Ph.D. in paleontology. You need a strong educational background in natural sciences, geology, and biology. You also need skills in statistical analysis and computers. Voluntary or paid fieldwork is suggested to gain experience.

Average salary: In Canada, the average salary of a paleontologist is $66,900. In the U.S., the average salary is $82,500.
