Great, thanks. Everything you posted really helped me clear my head a bit.
In terms of biology courses, I have taken vertebrate biology (where the labs involve dissecting and comparing a number of representative species from each major class, so I guess this is what you meant as comparative anatomy course right?), introductory ecology, insect biology, and a special topics biology course about Charles Darwin's voyage and his work (though not necessary a course that focuses on evolution, as I'll mention later, there's a seperate course entirely devoted to evolution).
Since I have taken quite a number of biology courses (as electives for my major) so far, so I mind as well minor in biology. So right now, I'm currently taking an introductory genetics course and from there I plan to take a course on evolution.
In geology, I'm currently taking an introductory stratigraphy/sedimentology course, structural geology (a very brutal course if you ask me or most geology students at my school) and an environmental geoscience course (as an elective for my major).
In terms of jobs, I'm planning to just send my resume off to as many mining and geologic survey companies as I can for this summer to get some field experience (which I have yet to obtain). So I am pretty much keeping my options very open at the moment. If I come across a research assistant job involving ichnology, I mind as well give that a try if I don't get accepted by any mining company or geologic survey. I definitely should talk to my paleo prof for sure at some point.
Here are the department websites in case you're wondering what the courses I'm taking are like:
SFU Department of Biology
SFU Department of Earth Sciences
