Pros

I enjoyed the training schools at BRC in Houston that I went through as a geological engineer. My initial experience with well-site petrophysics offshore in the Gulf was also very helpful and fun. The best part of the job, though, was being able to propose and drill a bunch of wells in a fairly short period of time. I never got tired of hitting oil.

Cons

I had an immediate boss who was very negative and was not a very good communicator. I also had an experience with carbon monoxide poisoning while logging a well that I feel wasn,t followed up on correctly.
