I'm 23 (turning 24 at the end of the year), earning about RM14K a month. It's pretty much a no brainer that I'm in the oil and gas industry. And yes I do work offshore but not on an oil rig.

Somebody said earlier in this thread that ppl in the oil and gas industry 'don't have a life', well I really take offense with that statement. You make us out to be like a group of zombies working for an evil corporation.

You're forgetting that we have our rotations.. I spend 1 month offshore (working regular  10 hrs shifts) and then I get 1 month vacation time.. and the paycheck keeps coming in even during vacation. During my time off I spend time with my family, I go traveling, I hang out with friends, and live my life. Also I get the satisfaction of being able to take care of my family financially. So yeah if that's not 'a life' then I don't know what is.

So if anyone out there is considering a career in the O&G industry.. I say go for it! See what it's all about first and don't just dismiss it as one of those jobs that you think you're not cut out for.

With no commitment, hardwork and passion, the MBA isn't going to help much
