What are some courses (locally for now), short and medium term, that you all would recommend for someone to do while on the path to becoming a Process Engineer and afterwards? Information concerning post-grad degrees that would be beneficial to such an engineer would also be appreciated but outside of two or three degrees, what certification courses or things along those lines would you all recommend as something you did 'and never looked back since'?

The individual has some years work experience in the Energy Sector, is already a Student Member with IChemE and will be attempting to become a Student Member with the APETT as well. TIA.


Nothing folks?

Do PPO so you don't be a kant like many PE's...........

Instrumentation (which I assume would be encapsulated in PPO) and Project Management. Thanks for the info this far folks.

I did some instrumentation when I did cpo but assume employers want to see an actual instrumentation course when hiring as a instrumentation tech/eng

I hope people take into account the state of the country's oil and gas sector, as well as the local economy before taking on any longterm schooling...

Try diversifying if you are in industry, consider either management or maybe finance and accounting. Might be worth adding some variety to your technical qualifications.

Maybe even project management....but not sure of the amount of projects that can absorb folks though.

Better to be WORKING at 40 on shift then to be working 8-5 stacking shelves at a grocery, unless you are willing to settle for significantly less....but I guess their may be some benefits to your personal life with regards to the amount of time you have...I guess....

You mean the Saville Assessment Exams or something like that....yeah that was a while ago wasn't it?

I guess....although I've known people in there and to be honest I didn't really think they were that smart, they were very outgoing and forward....but that's just my experience I could be wrong.

Your not wrong at all. It’s all about who likes you or who is your family. Because a lot of them I know not smarter than the average doorknob

The first question is what are you doing (work related) that's causing you back problems? Tough being in your 40's and not being in a position where you're basically managing the shift, but doing grunt work.

I'm not in my 40s.. I was just saying I don't wanna be in my 40s and working shift still.. with regards to my back, im a PPO and I have to drive to remote area on bad roads if you could even call it that and have to operate some very old valves..

nothing wrong with my back either but I strained it about a month ago but obviously if I continue doing this it will affect my back..

Nothing wrong with being in your 40's and doing shift work as long as the money is good, and you're not doing bull work. also the type of shift, meaning the hours, helps immensely

A casualty of the Petrotrin restructuring was recently offered a 12-hour shift position for less money and no benefits.

That coupled with the time he spends in travelling (4 hours per day) meant he had to decline.

He's in a position where he can handle his stories, but some other people with debts had no choice but to accept until something better...if ever...comes along.

The people that accept these jobs will have health and high stress issues in the future. I was terminated at the end of November and now I'm in the best health of my life. I now realize I was a slave to my job. I exercise 2x more and intense as when I was working and have way more rest time. Stress levels are low and I feel very energetic.
Only problem is when the bills come at the end of the month.

Most people don't realize that they killing off themselves in exchange for health.

This!!!
Sometimes it better to live small, be happy and live longer.
Seen too many people working under some conditions, probably worse than animals, only to suffer and probably die before retirement, leaving wife and children to fight it out on their own.

All this while de big boys living it up.

So you couldn't exercise and engage in stress related activities while employed? :?
Now all you've done is traded job stress for money stress.

Stress wasn’t the problem when working. It was low energy after 8-10 hours of work. The tiredness after work coupled with little time I had remaining in the day was definitely adding stress.
