I would like to change my study from material physics (XRD analysis) to geothermal, because my institute wants to have new department in geothermal, so I will be the first generation to study it?I have no background in geology and geophysics. What should I do?
Start with " What do I want to do with my life "
Make a list, and then go talk to college advisers in the fields you are
interested in studying.
The Question, What do I want to do with my life is a good one, but,
another good guestions is : Can I get a job in this field that pays good
money, and, will that field of work last at least thirty years so I can get
to retirement and have a good life at the end as well as the middle.
If you are talking geothermal, you are talking magma under the ground, hot spots, injection of cold water, and the recovery of hot water to make
steam, turn turbines, and make electricity, or just pump hot water through
pipes to buildings to warm them up in the winter.
Do You like rocks? Do you like Geology? Do you like Lava Flows ?
Do you like Power Plants? Do you like working out in field in remote locations? Do you like traveling to other countries?
