You can't put a price tag on piece of mind. The summers are brutal, anything outside that doesn't rust rots, traffic and to many people.

The interesting thing about the mining industry is that there are companies whose soul purpose is to find deposits and develop them to a point where a bigger company buys it and builds a mine. These companies are called junior mining companies, the buyers are called majors. My company is a junior and have no real intent to ever mine anything. We just find the deposits that will become mines. In terms of what we look for, it is mostly gold, silver and copper deposits that we look for.

Curious: did you do Rolla? Before my junior year, I transferred to Oklahoma and got a degree in meteorology (my first love) instead, but I'm 33 as well and did UMR August '98 - May '00.

Nah, I went to Colorado School of Mines for my degree. I would have been a year behind you anyway. A good friend of mine went to OU for a masters in geophysics after CSM.

I would rep you for the great answer but i'm on my phone and it doesn't let me. Sounds awesome though

Yeah, we've talked about engineering before. Our offices are pretty close to yours downtown.

Cool... You mentioned Rolla, so thought I'd check. CSM's pretty hefty as well (probably more so) from what I understand.

Maybe even closer. Aren't you on the east end of the mall? We moved down that way.

No worries, just look it up and consider it. Of course, I'll tell you to check out my alma mater Colorado School of Mines. It's worth a look, especially if you like geology.
