*** Situation Wanted ***

[MichaelSpe@xxxxxxx]

Accept my apologies for the cross posting.

I am looking to make a career change and enter the Paleontological or
Geological worlds.  My end goal is to teach at the university level and also
perform research.  Until then I need to continue studying and gain
experience.  My main areas of interest are dinosaur - evolution and
extinction, early human evolution and early geologic/ climatic environments.

I will be returning to academia after 15 successful years in a business
career.  During that time I managed to continue my education by take 9
archaeology/ anthropology courses and by reading many books, papers and
magazines on related subject matters.  This summer I spent a month working
with Dr. Keith Rigby (of Notre Dame) in Montana studying dinosaur extinction.

Currently, I am immediately available for research and/or study
opportunities.  I will work for tuition waivers and/or room and board.  In
return you will receive a hard working person with many management,
organizational, presentation and creative skills.  Computer system use and
design are also strengths.

Fall classes are starting soon, and I missed the deadline for entrance as a
Master/Ph.D. student.  Any opportunity for research, work or study in
paleontology, geology or archaeology will be considered.  If you have
something available (or any suggestions on entering these fields) please
contact me.  Location is not a barrier, I will move.

Thank you.
