Researcher

The academic world sponsors a good deal of research, particularly in the fields of astronomy, physics, and other theoretical sciences. The private sector employs thousands of researchers, especially chemists, pharmacists, and engineers. Oil companies hire many trained geologists. Researchers spend most of their time indoors, working and writing, but some go onto become field researchers.

Field researchers are usually highly experienced, independent, and resourceful, possibly employed by private interests or undertaking academic research for a university. Oil companies send geologists into the field to explore potential petroleum fields, anthropologists study primitive tribes in forgotten corners of the globe, and archaeologists spend years of their lives unearthing treasures in deserts and jungles, bargaining with native workers and local governments.
