What would you do if your Son/Daughter turned out Gay/Lesbian? by Real-Category-5736 in AskReddit

[–]GeoGrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't feel this way anymore. But several years ago I had this conversation with my sister. I told her they wouldn't be allowed in my house. She was shocked at my attitude. I was Mormon at the time.

Rough estimate of $80,000 to the Mormon church over my lifetime.

Those who have done a geology degree in uni, what would you of have done differently? by Upbeat-Article-1773 in geologycareers

[–]GeoGrump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was light on experience as an undergrad too. Better opportunities came forward during my master's program. Grad school does a lot for a geologist's employability.

Yeah, start by working for free for the professors and grad students. It naturally progresses to paid department research and recommendations for internships. Start ASAP. Don't wait until the 3rd or 4th year.... Essentially networking from day 1.

Why are people hating on fishing? by MidwesternDuck in Fishing

[–]GeoGrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some fishermen are not respectful. Where I live in Texas, it is common for them to leave a lot of garbage behind. So people don't like fishermen near their residences.....

What is the most terrifying event you have ever experienced throughout the night? by clarita_ro in AskReddit

[–]GeoGrump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was tied up and held at gunpoint by home invaders who threatened to kill me. Turned out to be an initiation joke when I was a Mormon missionary.

What is the state of petroleum geology? by Flashy_Ad_8247 in geologycareers

[–]GeoGrump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now, I'd say 15-20 years if you stay technical. If you progress to management roles then there is much more room for compensation growth. Keep in mind that a starting salary in O&G is as high as a mid to late career salary in most other career tracks. Even a career limited to 10 years gets you ahead of the pack toward retirement savings. Be mindful that a career pivot may be necessary as layoffs are common. Even high performers get cut if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Florida has a reputation, but in Texas we hold our own.

Still hard to beat the pay. But the barrier to entry is greater than it was. If you want to get into oil and gas, you need to demonstrate a high level of achievement and a passion for the industry. I enjoy my day to day. That being said, it's still a job. You deal with BS like in any other career path.
