  Oil usually lies thousands of feet below the earth's surface. There are many ways of discovering this underground oil, but the only way to be certain that it exists is to make a deep hole, called a bore-hole, or a well, through the rock, earth, or sand. The steel structure over the well is called a derrick. From this, the machinery that drills the hole is raised and lowered. Bore-holes are often very deep. Some of them go down to a depth of two kilometers or even farther. When oil is found, it usually flows freely, and it is then necessary to control the natural flow; it is the result of the pressure of the natural gas in the oil, or of the pressure of the natural gas between the petroleum and the roof of rock above it.

  One of the most important decisions at the time when people grow up and become adults is what job or career to choose. However, with so many possibilities to choose from, this decision is often a difficult one to make. In addition, there are many factors that may influence an individual hi the choice of a career and some of these may be conflicting. For example, family pressure, the potential for earning money, and one's own personal interest may all be factors that pull an individual in three different directions when trying to decide what career path to follow. Although it is often stated that by the time a person is a young adult they will know what they want to "do with their life," in fact, the process of finding a career may take a long time. It is not uncommon for an individual to try more than one career before finding the one that leads to job satisfaction. Clearly young adulthood is a period of stress. It is a time for raising a family, finding and maintaining the "right" job, and keeping a balance among self, family, job, and society at large. It is a period of life that requires great energy. Fortunately, in terms of physical development, we are at something of a peak during our 20s and 30s. As Levinson (1986) has stated, "early adulthood is the era of greatest energy and abundance and of greatest contradiction and stress."
