I've received my official job offer from Mount Magnet South NL which I will be signing and returning to the office on Monday. This is pretty much my dream job as a graduating geologist - I'm doing exploration, which every graduate wants, I get both field work and office work (doing data interp, maybe even getting my own tenements to plan out) professional development (i.e. the company pays to learn me up on all the industry standard software) and the opportunity to start at the absolute grass roots level with brand new tenements with a brand new company, while still working in somewhat well understood greenfields (The Murchison region around Mt Magnet is WA's second biggest gold producer).
Plus, once you know gold, you can go anywhere. Not to mention 75000 a year. And a boss who I know and like. And company stock options after six months. Honestly... with the exception of the most trivial things, I could not design a better job to start in out of Uni (The trivial thing being that if it were up to me, I'd have 2 weeks on one week off when I'm in the field rather than the nine days on five days off I get at the moment, but that's utterly minor really).
I am seriously, seriously stoked.
