Well, even if you don't get a great job right out of school, there's no reason to give up hope. You can always keep applying for better things until you get the position you want!
As for Morm's paleo stuff, he just discovered a new species of fish, and I was there with him when he discovered it! They're looking into it more now, and it looks like it could even belong to a new genus. It's one of the fleshy-finned fishes from a very important time in their evolution, so it's probably a progenitor of the tetrapods. The closest thing to it that has ever been found was in Nova Scotia, so this could be huge if they find more fossils like it!
I'm pretty boring. I'm just about to start my senior year of college, and I'm going down to Virginia right now on vacation, and... yeah, I'll be doing the frantic job searching thing soon enough, but right now I'm just chilling.
