I'm currently eyeing the Process Technology program at BRCC.
I've heard about a lot of people have lose their jobs in the current industrial economy. Is this still a sought after career path? Will it stil be in 10,20,30 years?

Most of the layoffs are offshore jobs. Landbased plants are pretty safe and the only time chemical plants laid off anyone is back when natural gas was sky high.
Refineries are probably the safest because even in times like now they are still running at full capacity. Most chemical plants that use crude based feedstocks are thriving with the low oil prices but it can become shaky if oil gets high again.

They will always need operators to run plants, and there will always be plants.
I think it's a great career path... If you can handle shift work.
