  • Pamie Is "making" grammatically correct?
  • Yes.
  • Pamie "such industry" or "such an industry" ?
  • You need the "an" because 'industry' is a countable noun.
  • Something like 'happiness' is an uncountable noun, so for that one you'd have "such happiness" (without the article).

The reason I think my sentence is syntactically wrong is as follows: the subject in the main clause and the participle clause is not the same. Do you agree? To see some sort of predictability in an unpredictable world is compelling, making me more eager to work in such an industry
