I was hoping that someone could help me out.  I have recently put a
message board on my website, called The Paleo Forum.  My problem is that
an eighth grader is asking if anyone can tell him about the professional
opportunities in paleontology.  I am not a professional paleontologist,
and have been out of that arena for 10 years now, maintaining my interest
as an enthusiastic hobbyist.  If anyone knows an/the answer to this kid's
question, please respond to it at:

Thanks,

Matt
