If you have chosen this industry, you will continue to meet amazing and highly successful people, many of whom started out with nothing. Now these same people are presidents, vice presidents and owners of companies. Many of them have worked all over the world, in some very interesting (sometimes scary) places. If you have the opportunity, and you will, be sure to talk to these guys, learn about their experiences, and maybe try these things on your own. There is some real adventure to be had if you are so inclined. I have friends that have worked pretty much anywhere there is oil and gas to be found. They have seen and done things that will blow your mind. These fellas can tell you some extremely interesting stories about the energy industry and the people that work in it.
