Not true. Accountancy would have more stability, employment would not be hard to find. While trying to work in O&G is very different. Your employment is swayed by market rates, all of a sudden, your company can come out and say that they are cutting headcount by 20% because oil prices are down like they are now. My cousin works in a small local subsidiary of Schlumberger and their headcount was just cut by that much. They announced it on Monday and by wednesday, most of them were out the door. I'd say accountancy would be much more stable.
