Take as many Earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics
and computer science courses as you can. English is also important since
scientists need to write clearly and communicate their findings to others
on a regular basis. You might also find it helpful to take a course in
public speaking and a foreign language. Find out what after-school organizations
your school has that can help you with a career as a paleontologist, such
as Science Clubs and Fossil Clubs. Also consider doing a paleontology-focused
project for your local science fair and look for summer experiences in
paleontology at near-by colleges and universities.
