Life’s not fair. For years, all you hear is that the energy industry
is looking for a few – well, more than a few – good men and women. The
need is dire; the industry is on fire, and a lot of older workers are
about to ride off into the sunset. So, you do the work necessary to get
the degree and the knowledge necessary for a high-paying job in the oil
and gas industry … and then what happens? Just as graduation looms, and
that first lucrative O&G job draws ever so near, the bloom is off
the proverbial rose. What gives?
It’s understandable if the slide in crude oil prices seen in recent
months has not only shaken up those in the oil and gas industry, but
also you future energy industry workers currently ensconced within the
ivy towers of academic institutions. You’ve been longing for a chance to
make a difference … while also pocketing some long green. And just when
it’s your chance to step up to the plate, the market begins to misfire.
But are your concerns about your career choice warranted, or are you
getting bent out of shape over nothing?
