what can I tell my kid that he needs to do to become a paleontologist when he grows up?

Question

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?

Don’t explain what he should do – it’s too far ahead and could be discouraging.

Simply encourage him to explore his passion, take him to museums, watch documentaries etc.

And if his focus shifts elsewhere, well, then encourage him in that instead!
