Are you still doing HSE work?
No matter what you are doing, you have to get excitement and some kind of personal satisfaction and self-development out of your work. I think the real soul-destroying jobs are the clerical/process/admin/invoicing jobs where you are not contributing your own creativity and knowledge to advance the business in some way but rather just working through stacks of repetitive paperwork, records, files, and numbers. There are plenty of those in the oilpatch. It wouldn't work without them.
