Your Questions About Petroleum Engineering Jobs

Laura asks…

Will I find a job in Petroleum Engineering?

I know a lot of Petroleum engineers are about to retire so there will be more openings, but there is not a lot of expected employment growth. When I graduate in three years, do you think I will be able to find a job in petroleum engineering. Percent wise, what are my chances?

Brad Perry answers:

It depends on several different things.

1. The area that you are looking at applying– location has a lot to do with employment
2. How well you do in school- three years is a long time and you haven’t gotten through the hardest part
3. If you have done or will do an internship or co-op with a firm or company
4. Other things that you put on your resume to build your marketability to companies

There will be jobs available when you graduate, we are not going to get off oil anytime soon and oil is not the only things that Petroleum Engineers can do.

Short Answer is Yes you will find a job.

    Look at what your asking. "Very long time". YOUR WHOLE LIFE! Don't settle for someone you don't want to spend the rest of your life with, you will never be truly happy. Good-luck!

    Who would be left to balance if the GOP is gone? No I hope they stay around.

    With your ability to rant and spew perhaps you should consider running for office. Start out slow.. maybe city dog catcher and work your way up!

    Yes, Computer Science is considered an Engineering degree. The way I look at it (to put in a simple, pop way) is if I see the guys working on the Science Network to create Robots for competition (i.e. Robocar, or those Robot War shows), then they're an engineer. An IT, and a CIS graduate generally upkeeps a system for a business. A CS grad programs. (to get one of those robots into competition you need Robotics Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers and Computer Scientists)

    Chemical engineering is your best bet. The work is steadier than in petroleum engineering and higher paid than in mechanical engineering.

    Dentistry is good. Most dentists earn a bit more than most chemical engineers, but both earn well over $100,000 by the time they are a few years out of school. However, dentistry takes four years of expensive dental school, or three if you go to one of the few schools which hold classes year round. Admission to dental school is also very competitive.

    You can start in chemical engineering with a bachelor's degree and if you want to earn a master's degree, you may find a program which will give you a tuition waiver and a teaching assistantship to pay your living expenses.

    no responsibility for ensuring accurate understanding between you and your sex partner, which is just like trying to get a consent form in the silly video you linked. I'm not okay with you getting out of responsibility.

    Fourth, this notion that sexual frankness is a mood-killer is nonsense. If you sit with a sex partner and talk about things you'd like to do with each other and it kills the mood, yer doin it rong. Those of us who do BDSM cannot do what we do without explicit communication about likes and limits, and we still get off just fine.

    Fifth, if we're assigning the burden of failed communication, I'd rather a misunderstanding result in folks not getting laid, not in women being sexually penetrated when they don't want to. Your view is, what, the reverse?

    To get down to brass tacks, you're just wrong. I think just about everything you said is the same rehashed nonsense I've heard before.]]>

    It should also be emphasised that the authors of this article have come up with one truly wonderful addition to my hastily written list – “vigorous oversight and enforcement activities against Moscow’s state-owned companies”

    Is the “civilized world” ready to do without Russian oil and gas? :) )

    LA RUSSOPHOBE RESPONDS: Why not? It managed quite well during the first Cold War, and the USSR was utterly destroyed. What's more, Russia's oil and gas resources are finite and will run out one day no matter what. If you find that funny, you are an utter moron.]]>
