I'm sorry.....but not everyone wants to spend their time getting
blisters, dirty, sweaty and sunburned, just to find a few bones, shells
or whatever.......just about anyone is able if they really want to (but
few actually do).... you don't have to have a PhD to be a
paleontologist............it takes desire, education, hard work and
committment but let's not get hung up on a lofty ideal.
