The article is the educational system wanting lots of money for itself.

if i were 20 years old and looking for a promising career in the oil business, i'd go there and spend 5 years apprenticing, learning first hand the tools, manner and methods of a new industry which has not yet discovered its own stride. Future development, always extends from experience.

Yes, agreed.

But you can also see that some professions will be left vacant since people rush to the oil sector.

In Angola Sonagol tried to 'localize' the workforce. The company invested heavily. After 4 years of free training, when it was time to work, the trainees decided that working in oil rigs, platforms and ships were not for them.

So they desert. And come to work for UNITEL.

I tell that UNITEL (the mobile operator I work for) is the refuge for those technical people who failed to become oilmen.
