Working in the energy sector can be exciting and rewarding. You could spark meaningful, sustainable change and impact future generations inside an innovative industry. And according to the U.S. Energy & Employment Jobs Report, in 2022, the energy sector added nearly 300,000 jobs, increasing from 7.8 million total energy jobs in 2021 to over 8.1 million.

But with more career paths than you might imagine, how do you decide where to start?
