It’s not an engineering degree so he won’t get offers related to that job field for any majors or independents although I do know of one man who made it big with the tech degree. Schlumberger and Halliburton might take a look as a field engineer but upward mobility will be limited.

Speaking from over 25 years experience, I would tell your son to look into another field or go to an accredited engineering school and take up ChemE or Mechanical.

This. ABET is the accreditation you're looking for, and ditch the "technology" part. If he doesn't want to be a formal engineer there's good money to be made with a ptech degree or the like.

Eta:If I were to do it over again I would probably still stick with structural stuff but even ME's do plenty of O&G stuff as well and are not cornered into only doing O&G, same with electricals and structurals.
