seismic acquisition
A discipline tasked with the acquiring subsurface data for petroleum geoscientists. Generally comprised of odd people and social misfits, seismic acquisition types make far more money than what they are worth, and the baseline quality of typical seismic worker effort renders the decisions made with this data suspect. On the Toolbox Scale, seismic acquisition workers rank just above Tree Planters and below Vacuum Truck drivers.
