May the force be with you, Geoscientists. The future!

The future for Geoscience career is more than just good. That's the message from G. Warfield ‘Skip’ Hobbs , Managing Partner, Ammonite Resources Company at CSPG annual convention. This is not trivial. If you have a career in mind or you are in a stage of your life that you are to choose what to study, it's time to think about it. Existing facts are: The oil price is high, experienced people are going to retire and oil price drop in nineties caused a lack of interest in geoscience career at that time and so, now there is a gap between people with 10-15 years of experience and people with less than three years. The hydrocarbon is still the dominant source of energy. on the other hand, the predictions show demands for hydrocarbon are increasing, so the oil price won't drop below 50$ again and we have enough hydrocarbon to exploit but we need more expert people to do that (i.e it's not easy dude!).
The conclusion is step in and take the chance. It's wise to choose a career in geology, geophysics and reservoir engineering.
Think about it!
