Not every great career starts with a plan. Some of the best ones start with a willingness to figure it out along the way.

Recently, EnerCorp’s Marketing Director visited seniors at Splendora High School north of Houston to talk about her career journey in oil and gas and marketing. But the conversation went well beyond job titles and industries.

She talked about pivot points. About how there will be several along the way, whether you’re headed to college, technical school, the military, or still deciding. About the importance of building your network early, finding mentors who push you, and not always choosing the easiest path. About leaning in when things get hard, because that’s usually where the growth is.

The conversations that followed covered finances, education, and life choices. Real topics. Real questions. The kind of session that’s as rewarding for the person in the front of the room as it is for the students.

This is what the EnerCorp 1-Team looks like in the community. We’re grateful for every opportunity to invest in the next generation.
