[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3677175, member: 35603"] I am in the same boat. My wife used to be in the industry too, but it was starting to feel risky having all of our income tied to it. Luckily she got an amazing opportunity to do the parts of her O&G job she loved for a software company instead. I have been in Midstream Measurement for over 10 years at this point and am now over the Measurement Dept for a midstream company based in Denver. I HATED math all through school and even dropped my engineering degree to get a degree in Employment Law (dumb) because I was tired of doing math. Now that I have found a career path I really enjoy, I have had to self teach myself math a few steps past where I gave up in college. All in all, it worked out like it was supposed to, but I also steer people away from O&G at this point. I have also started looking at other options to apply my experience and add another degree or trade certifications to branch into something else. There is a good chance I can retire doing what I do, but there is also a good chance the demand and opportunities will tank in 5 years too. [/QUOTE]
