Just for reference (before you kick the engineering option).... engineers in the oilfield are starting out at or just above 6 figures.... and it goes up from there with only a BACH Deg....
Plus: 30-50% bonus annual
Plus: stock grants
Plus: stock options
Plus: equity in the smaller outfits
Plus: opp to participate in wells in smaller outfits

But you will work your **** off, and if that does not work for you, something else might be better.

All above just for reference...

In general I'd say find what you are at least somewhat passionate about and that also can make a decent living doing....... I do believe if you love what you do, you will not work another day in your life, and you will be rewarded accordingly.

Hi, @bagelsjustbagel Thank you for sharing your story and interest, I think you should try to apply for a job at the Automotive Company. Otherwise you can start a own business but It requires more knowledge and skills in this sector. Anyway, I am a professional academic writer and blogger, Recently I published a informative article https://dissertation-helpers.co.uk/d...n-methodology/ about dissertation methodology. I especially work for students for their academic writing solutions.
