There are more civil jobs available, but they don't generally pay as much.

Petroleum pays more, but there is a glut of graduates combined with the industry itself practically in freefall.

Civil is by far the better degree to have today, though that wasn't the case 4 years ago, and may or may not be the case 4 years from now.

The refining industry is in a free fall? What? Their raw materials are as cheap as ever.
