My 6yo is mad about Dinos and fossils and has ran through many fossil digging kits. What can I tell him that will be easy for him to understand what all should he do in order to have a good chance of becoming a paleontologist?

We just came back from a vacation at Badlands National Park—there are no dinosaurs, but fossils abound! And they have a lab where you can chat with real paleontologists (and college students) who are working.
If you can get to South Dakota, highly recommended so he can talk to someone who made it their career (and has put themselves in a public-facing role so they are good with kids)
