Hi Julie,
You may want to look at Hoisch and Bowie, 2010 (JGE V58, n3). The article mainly focuses on student's perceptions of geoscientist careers for recruitment purposes, but you may find what you are looking for in some of the references they give. I haven't had a chance to look at them in depth, but it wouldn't hurt to glance at it and see if anything sparks your interest.
Good luck.

Colleagues,
I am looking for a report, article, or other source of information that describes the percentage of time geoscientists in academia, industry, and government spend doing field work, office work, lab work, teaching, etc. So I would like to know the types of tasks geoscientists do at work and what percentage of a geoscientist's time is spent on each task. I realize that there is a lot of variability, so whatever info I can get would be helpful. Does anybody know of a report, article, or source that may have this information?
Thanks for your help.
