LOL, I've got to admit that I can't see either degree demanding either career choice...
I adored geology, though, having studied it to 18 - up to the point where it mutated into conducting mechanistic experiments, reading graphs and analysing results... I often wished I'd been born in the Victorian age as a geologist/paeleontologist, all those discoveries waiting to be made...
So I stick with computers, which at least don't make things too much worse<w>

BTW, residents in parts of Devon and Cornwall are actually deeply aware of background radiation - the granite batholith under most of the counties produces radon levels otherwise unseen outside nuclear test sites... only they have some trouble with insuring against it.
