But the collapse in the demand for oil and gas during the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted her well-laid plans and is forcing her to consider a new path.
“We got a slap in the face, an entirely unforeseen situation that rocked our entire mind-set,” said Ms. Burns, who is studying petroleum engineering. “I have applied for every oil and gas position I’ve seen, like all my classmates, and nothing really has turned up. I’m discouraged.”
Nobody has seen this coming lmao
And she is feeling discouraged. Big sad.

Maybe she shoulda got an education that's viable on the market, like solar energy :ancap-good: :capitalist-laugh:
