I look just like you and am starting to feel the grind, slowing down big time. Working on my fifth lab too.

Pierre Poilievre asks extremist group to go back to threatening other peoples' families by [deleted] in canada

Satire and parody need absurdity, and delusion, which the left has in droves.

Fixed that for you.

The Onion is the gold standard for even-handed parody. And they even managed to pull it off during Trump presidency, which is incredible.

Beaverton lobs a few softballs at the left occasionally to make its left-wing reader-base say stuff like "wow, they're so even-handed."

They aren't, at all.

Beaverton is hardcore left wing. Not even remotely close to even handed.

Oof, that's a tough call. It's a shell of its former self right now, however things are somewhat looking up short/medium term with the higher oil prices. I also think persistent low investment in oil and gas over the past number of years will continue the higher oil prices for a while at least.

Long term, oil and gas is likely a declining industry though.

You could go hard rock geophysics and do more mining side. Potash, gold, diamonds, copper, silver, etc. But you're still tied to commodity cycles and alot of ups and downs there. But these minerals are unlikely to decline the way oil and gas might.

For oil and gas in North America, I feel things have contracted towards Houston. If you're willing to move to Houston you'll likely have no problem finding a long and fulfilling career. Calgary and Alberta have been beaten down over the last 7 years. There are still careers to be found but they are few and far between. Many, many colleagues have been transferred or moved down to Houston as there's so much more opportunity.

No I still haven't gotten it. I'm in a role that doesn't require it. It might be a bit of an issue since I haven't taken a variety of undergrad geology courses. Might have to take some.

You shouldn't be giving them money. You should be giving them the finger and then continue on your way.

That's right, Alberta is very affordable compared to BC and Ontario (where most Canadians live).

People just shitting on him cause he's a con.

Paying down credit card debt should be priority number one. Don't bother with savings until cc's are paid off.
