I started this blog because so few people can really understand why I like working in energy. One time while driving down I-95 in Philadelphia my friend looked out at a vast, rusty oil refinery in all its glory and said "I don't know, Manny, I just wouldn't want to be around this all day." To which I replied (alluding to his future profession as a doctor), "well, maybe some people wouldn't want to be around death, disease, and hospital food all day." I usually never have good quips on the spot, so I was proud of this one.
My point is, there are a number of ways to look at any situation or experience, and working with oil and gas is no different. Through these posts I'll be chronicling my life from the inside, as an aspiring engineer and MBA student in Houston - USA's energy capital. I hope to explain things along the way for those that want to learn, and all the while provide some hope and humor for everyone stuck in the daily grind. After all, as a colleague told me, "we're all working downstream of something...and sewage doesn't run uphill."
