Fuel bosses battle over new recruits
Oil & Gas UK chair accuses green counterparts of overplaying their own importance

Apparently, the oil and gas sector is struggling to compete for graduates as the renewables sector gains popularity. Bob Keiller, joint chairman of industry association Oil & Gas UK, asks the question: "Why would an engineer work in a sector renewables that pays significantly less and might not offer security for the medium term?"

Well, I think the answer is that many ambitious and in-demand graduates are a little more entrepreneurial than this guy expects. They have concerns and interests other than salary and job security. Other may agree with him, which is fine.
