I'm an engineer doing green building design. I think we live in the most exciting time in human history and the greatest challenge we face is to live in balance with our environment, I love that I'm working to be a part of that change and I can easily see my career path constantly evolving such that I'm able to enjoy it for the rest of my life.
It burns me a little to know that I could triple my income if I had sold my soul to O&G, but you only get one life to live and I'll be damned if I spend the prime of my life only working for retirement. Plus, who knows where the O&G industry will be in 20 years, but a sustainable world is a tremendous undertaking that has only just begun and will only become more important as the years roll on.
