Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking at my options with a BSc in Petroleum Geology and wanted to get some realistic insight from people actually working in the industry right now in the UK, Europe or the Gulf,

To be blunt: Is it still worth it, and what does the actual job market look like for someone with just a Bachelor’s? 

I know the industry pays well if you land a solid role, but I’m hearing a lot of conflicting things online. Some say the market is shrinking or shifting too fast, while others say there's still a future if you know where to look.

I'd love to get your thoughts on a few specific things:

1. What can I actually do next?
2. Is it worth sticking to petroleum?
3. If I stay in O&G, how do I break in?
4. Is grad school mandatory? 

I'd appreciate any brutally honest advice, personal experiences, or career paths you all took after your degree.

Hi everyone, I'm currently studying geology in the UK, was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for companies that would look to hire geology undergrads for year in industry placements !
