A story from Mike

My brother Mike told me a story the other day which I liked very much. While he was an undergraduate in Earth Sciences at UCSC, the department held a colloquium of industry people to talk about their trade. One of the speakers relayed a story that went like this:

A young geologist set out from graduate school to find his fortune in the wastes of Canada. Saddled with student loans and the burden of living off of his parents out of a station wagon, he combed the forests and tundras of Canada, taking samples, drilling for ore. And then, Eureka!, he found gold.

Selling the mineral rights he now collects a daily sum of 200,000 us dollars.

Nice story. Thanks Mike
