So as to advice.

1. You are at a great school, do well, learn, get to know professors, develop an interest and explore that … and enjoy

2. In geosciences-plan on getting an advanced degree MS minimum… If as you gradute undergrad you are still interested pursue an MS at a school that is doing SPECIFIC research on this area of interest get a MS

3. If still interesed in research, pursue the PhD …

4. REmember --certainly at the BSc andMS levels your are going to be ‘grunt labor’ … just like in everything you have to pay your dues and for example spending summers describing detailed glacial sediments from 10,000 years ago to compare to changes in modern sediments … that might be your MS --after writing a theses

And if you are meant to do it … it wont even seem like work
