Hi, I presume you're a 25 yr old lady. Petrochem is definitely a good industry, but my understanding of the role of a broker is to match buyer and seller. As highlighted, entertainment is unavoidable for jobs of such nature, if you have the personality and lifestyle to match, great for you.
I know a friend who started off as a broker, which involves a fair bit of travelling, and most of your personal time to entertain clients. In terms of moving up the "value chain", being a "oil trader" is the aspiration from the broker. In terms of pay, didn't ask explicitly, but judging from external observation, I am sure the pay-off is worthwhile after slogging out for around 2-3 years.
Good luck!
