re: Petroleum engineering technology

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.
