Vault Career Guide to Energy, Third Edition
In the midst of an energy boom that has positioned the United States as one of the world’s top oil-producing nations, demand for energy is projected to continue escalating through 2035 and beyond. A growing global population, rising industrialized nations, and a desire for greater energy independence in the U.S. will spur the development of new resources, new technology for extracting traditional energy resources and alternative means of power. These factors—together with evolving government regulations and environmental concerns—will shape the future of the energy industry and ensure that it remains a challenging but rewarding place to build a career. Robust opportunities are expected in all branches of the energy industry as new technology improves alternative energy options and makes traditional options easier and cleaner to produce. These developments will feed demand for workers with the skills and ability to remain on the industry forefront.
