As Mark Miller, a senior oil and natural gas executive with years of experience, was addressing a Baker Hostetler Shale Symposium in Houston in mid-2015 he could not resist the opportunity to talk about a favorite subject, "the transfer of knowledge to the next generation of workers" in the industry and an industry-backed program in Houston schools. It involves early energy education for high school students. "It allows young people to learn a career as early as the ninth grade," Miller told a group of mostly young professionals at the shale symposium. "They're learning about geosciences, engineering, land applications and geophysics. Think back how much further ahead you would be if you had a chance in ninth grade to be exposed to the careers you're involved in now."
