Subject: What is the Daily routine of a paleontologist?

I am a ninth grade student at the Upper Merion High School.  I am doing a 
report on paleontology and paleontologists because one day I may look into 
becoming a paleontologist.  If possible, I'd like to ask you a few questions 
about paleontology.  First of all, why did you chose to become a 
paleontologist?  How did you engage in this certain career?  Like, did you get 
this idea from anyone you knew?  What exactly do you do?  I understand that 
there are many different sciences related to this field of studies, so what 
specifically do u enjoy doing?  You probably had to attend several years of 
college in order to prepare for this career.  What type of education did you 
have to go through before becomming a paleontologist?  On a typical day at 
work, what type of studying do you do?  I mean not every day can be digging at 
a certain location, can it?  Finally, what do u like and dislike about being a 
paleontologist?  Is every day a new adventure?
