Well, it wouldn't hurt to learn to spell. Most palaeontologists write scientific papers or even books, so spelling is a must.
Next, you have to stay in school, and do your best to follow through to college or university. Volunteering at a museum will help to improve your chances, too.

Especially if it's the name of your damn job.

First step: Get off the internet.

Second step: Get a job that'll actually pay you good money.

Yes, because that's all there is to life. Money. And lots of it. If you don't have money, you can't possibly be happy.

Well I don't know about you, but I want a job that can actually provide for the necessities that are required to survive, and paleontology is hardly that.
