All sifus here, I would like to seek your advise in regards to the career path of these positions as below:

Project Engineer
QC/QA Engineer
HSE Engineer

Which one offers better job prospect. Currently I am working as Project Engineer in oil and gas industry. My manager had given me an opportunity to choose the position as I would like to pursue. If I chosen QC, I would take the courses related to this such as CSWIP. If I chosen HSE, I would take SHO course. I need to make decision by end of this week. Hope all sifus here could share your advise or idea to me. Your advise means a lot to me. Thanks in advance.
