Hey guys,

This is my first post in this forum. I am hoping to get some input from any professionals. I just turned 40. I have a mechanical engineering degree, but ever since the recession, the work I have been doing was mostly drafting and design with some engineering related task.

I was thinking about going back to university to take bachelors of mechatronics. Working on P&IDs sparked my interest. I only need to do two years. I really want to get into the oil and gas sector. Are mechatronics graduates in demand in the O&G industry? Would anyone hire a new graduate that is 42 years old. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.
