I'm Civil (structural) Engineer. It's easy to find a job in Civil, but the pay is lower, comparatively.
PETE is specialized, salaries have been good historically. When the O&G industry craps out, you have nowhere to go.
Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical all have good pay with broad range of job prospects. None are tied to one particular industry. All can work in the O&G industry if you want and transition out if need be.
Goelogists are like PETE, they come and go with the O&G industry.
