Yes, you can do that. I did. Keep in mind you'll probably be doing field work with slightly younger people. But you'll probably move upward quicker since you've got the add'l education. Personally, though, I prefer the field work to the 'upward' direction of management. As for starting a career in geology at 30… Yes, you can do that. I did.

It has a volume that lists every subject offered by american colleges and the schools that offer that subject and at what level. Online there are several services. In the past I have found better, but this one isn't bad: Go to your library and see if they have a copy of the college blue book.

If you want to specialize in a certain 'flavor' of geology, look for a school that concentrates in the derivitave field. For example, if you are interested in petrology, look for a mining school or a university located in or near oil fields (like Texas A&M). For engineering geology, try an engineering school... I hope that this helps. Most universities have a department of natural sciences and will accept graduate students in a variety of disciplines.
