Im about to start a degree in geology in a college in Australia . Its a 3 year bachelor degree in science. And Im also going to do my masters in Geology and hopefully to my phd in the far future. Is a 3 year degree enough to become a geologist or do I need to do another year after that (honors)?

And I'm also planning on going back to America to do my masters (i was there before and i went to high school there in chicago)

And what kind of jobs are available for me with a masters degree and what is the average salary or starting salary?
(and i dont want to be a teacher or lecturer) i would love to go into paleontology, but i heard there isnt much money in that.
