f you go back and get your PETE you can go work for an E&P or for an investment bank (though an MBA on top helps tremendously)

You gotta think that working full time and getting your PETE is damn near impossible huh?

If he went back to get his PETE thats 4 years full time and a PETE out of school is ok for an E&P company but and IB won't care because what he learned in school is more or less useless, they are looking for real world O&G experience

Not gonna lie #4 definitely surprised me.

Even if he already has a degree? I figured he could've cut it down to 3 years at least.

I think a PETE, regardless of when you get it, would be infinitely valuable.

Well, all of my family works in O&G. Mostly on the actual drilling side ( OIMs, rrig manager, etc.) And I have a cousin who is quite a ways up in the Baker Hughes chain of command. I believe the PETE would suit my skill set better than what I currently do, and I also believe it offers more long-term stability than my current path.

Does anyone have any experience getting a new bachelor's degree after you already have one?

Like I have said, I don't concern myself as much with the compensation of either option because they all pay well.

Any more advice on option C? My GMAT is in the upper 20% of accepted students at HBS, Booth, and Wharton, but my GPA is weak and I have a bland profile - white male, upper-middle class family, financial advisor and 2.5 yrs of experience. I applied to HBS (Harvard) out of school but was not accepted.
