@skanman it is never too late to learn more about something we are fascinated by or are interested in. i didn't start my phd program until i was almost 37. be wll!
@earthjay sometimes, I wish I would have chosen the path of seismology. I'm 41, and I felt my first earthquake visiting Jakarta in I think 2018. It wasn't that strong. I was so strangely excited and was feeling the directions the ground was moving and imagining all the affects on mountains and how the entire surface of the earth is continuously shifting. No thoughts entered my mind about protecting myself cause that's how fascinated and stupid I am. Have a great weekend Jason!
