Career prospects in Agro vs Energy

I m student in target in france.My previous experience is working as sales, I worked equities and fixed income, focused more on macro economic factors for analysis.

 I intend to move into the commodities market. My preference is agro and energy. My first preference is agro and second is oil/gas. I’m trying to understand my earning and career potential in each. So here are the questions:

  1. How does pay compare between agro commodities (broker/trader/analyst) vs same for oil/gas?
  2. Oil/gas companies are bigger in general, whereas agro companies are lot smaller. So that affects the bureaucracy, promotions, earning potential right? How so?
  3. If I intend to go an entrepreneurial route in the future which would be a better pick? I’d assume oil/gas is more capital heavy entrepreneurial journey compared to agro, correct?
  4. How common is moving between agro and oil/gas. If it happens, does it happen in both directions?

  5. How is the job demand/supply in each? I’d assume oil/gas has higher job demand among similarly qualified people?
