Today's show is a special episode all about Field Schools. Now is the time that thousands of people are trying to figure out what field school they should take over the summer. Should it be for fun? Should it be practical? Should you go abroad even though you're going into CRM? What should you learn? What shouldn't you learn?
We've compiled a panel of experts to help you through the process. Our special guest R. Joe Brandon will tell us about the field school guide that he posts every year on the Shovelbums website.
