Boeken Paleontoloog

Het arbeidsmarktperspectief voor een paleontoloog hangt af van het aantal musea en instellingen die op zoek zijn naar paleontologen die bij hen willen gaan werken (en daarmee dus van de werkgelegenheid). Dit kan per periode verschillen.

Omdat paleontoloog een vrij precies beroep is, waarin de paleontoloog echt kennis heeft van één onderwerp en zich hierop richt, en de paleontoloog hierin al aan de top van de kennis zit, zijn er in het vak zelf weinig doorgroeimogelijkheden. Wel kan de paleontoloog ook andere verantwoordelijkheden en taken op zich nemen door bijvoorbeeld les te gaan geven op hogescholen en universiteiten.

Er zijn een hoop verschillende manieren om je te verdiepen in het beroep Paleontoloog. Je kan een opleiding volgen, maar er zijn nog andere laagdrempelige manieren om aan die kennis te komen. Hieronder kan je diverse boeken, Ebooks of DVDs vinden waarmee je meer kan leren over de functie en de inhoud van het beroep Paleontoloog. Er zijn boeken voor de beginner of voor de Paleontoloog die verder wilt ontwikkelen binnen het vakgebied.
