Lady shares experience after rejecting oil and gas job
The TikTok user, @buric_pretty, revealed that she had been offered two job positions simultaneously, one from an oil and gas company and the other from a federal polytechnic.
However, she chose to accept the job at the federal polytechnic based on her uncle’s advice.
The choice did not turn out as she expected, as she always finds herself wishing that she chose the oil and gas sector instead of educational sector.
In her words:
“Life is so private that noone knows I received two job offers at the same time in Delta. One from an oil and gas company and the other from a federal polytechnic. I chose the federal polytechnic based on my uncle’s advice. But sometimes I wish I had chosen the oil and gas sector instead.”
