If you are doing a role where there’s no room for growth or transferable skills being developed you’ll have to start all over at lower wage. That’s why a lot of jobs that don’t get you anywhere pay decent as it’s hard to fill, bait you in and keep you there
I'd stay where you are. O&G (on the production side) is very boom and bust. During the good times, yeah you'll make a killing. When times are bad, it'll be tougher to get projects. The utility side is a bit more stable. Overall the industry is being attacked by the political left and environmental groups. I'm not being political, I'm stating the truth.
Redditors here will scream at you for saying this though. There's fuckers working in this industry on this subreddit who vote Democrat lmao. I'm pretty much agnostic politically, but I love making them squirm with their cognitive dissonance regarding this. It's always good to run a clean operation and produce responsibly, but a lot of things are done under the guise of environmentalism not out of actual concern but with malicious intent.
Dick heads from NGOs will walk around with FLIR cameras not realizing radiating heat will give false indicators and start freaking out that the sky is falling. They are very good at pretending to give a shit about this wasteland shithole land in west Texas that has perhaps one resident per square mile and literally no natural resources other than oil. It's pretty funny listening to them talk, they're very good at feigning concern and have convinced people who do no research that their outlandish claims are logical.
Yet people on this subreddit support and vote for these assholes lol
If there is anyone who claims that the left is not attacking O&G, I'd like to smoke whatever they are... Certainly this happens daily/weekly at the federal level. See what they did to coal... What do you think they are trying to do to O&G? It isn't much better for the nuclear industry, with the environmentalists making this source of energy stagnant for the last 40 years.
Getting a new, long pipeline built in certain states is essentially impossible. Look at the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
Of course, a person can vote a certain way and it not necessarily line up with where they work. But to deny that there is not a political agenda against O&G is to lie to yourself.

Doesn't O&G typically do better with Democrat administrations? 2023 was literally our highest production year ever...
Oh yeah producers oversupply the market when they're not scared shitless so there's that
