There are enough positive economic arguments you can make about working in the O&G industry to explain why it’s a sensible for some people without needing to make arguments implying that job/retirement security in other industries are somehow bad things.

Yes - of course - one can always resign from a job. But using my folks as an example leaving CUPE 38 and joining say, Altalink meant losing out on the full pension they spent 25+ years working for. Which to my risk adverse parents meant they never did / would. Golden handcuffs, of a sort.
So yes, the DB pension and the relative stability of government work can be a great thing, but like anything in life, it'd be wrong to say it's perfect.
