Hey everyone,
I’m currently a 3rd-year Petrochemical Engineering student, and with the ongoing global war/geopolitical tensions, I’ve been feeling quite uncertain about my career path.
Industries like refineries, LPG pipelines, fossil fuels, diesel, etc., seem to be directly impacted by these situations. It’s making me question whether this field will remain stable or a good long-term option.
I’m seriously considering switching domains, and my parents are also a bit concerned about my future in this field given the risks and uncertainties.
I wanted to ask:
- Is petroleum engineering still a good career choice in the current global scenario?
- If not, what alternative fields can I transition into at this stage?
- What skills should I start building now to shift into a more stable and future-proof domain?
Any advice from people in the industry or those who’ve made similar transitions would really help.
Thanks in advance!
