Answer 1

An academic subject that has inspired me is the study of geology and mining. I have furthered the knowledge of these subjects in the classroom by obtaining degrees in both geology and mining engineering, in the classroom and sometimes the laboratory. Outside the classroom, I have furthered this interest by, for example working 19 years at a large producing open pit mine and seeing all kinds of geological and mining situations, which both illustrate things I learned in class and also teach me new things about these subjects.
