Designers definatly make more money than just the drafters. You right about designers not jumping to go do doc control. Usually their next step up is engineering tech. It also depends where you work (epc or owner) as most owner companies don't have any drafters and if they do it is just to supervise the epc work. Owner companies definatly pay better.
EDIT: The most important thing in the O&G industry is reputation. It's more about who you know and what your reputation is than what you know.
