After university, where he obtained an Honours degree in Geology, Wilson worked as a geological surveyor in Zimbabwe, before moving to Canada. For nine years, he worked for the Alberta Geological Survey. In 1986, he took a trip around the world, which inspired him to write an article which was published in the Globe and Mail.
