Day in the Life
Geological and petroleum
technicians
work under a wide variety of conditions. They perform much of their work outdoors sometimes in remote
locations. Some occasionally work irregular
hours to monitor experiments that cannot be completed during regular
working hours. Advances in automation
and information technology require technicians to operate more
sophisticated laboratory equipment. Science technicians make extensive
use of computers, electronic measuring equipment, and traditional
experimental apparatus.
