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.

Since this won't happen in our lifetime we should be prepared.

You proved your stupidity not once, but twice in this sentence.

My dad has a PHd in geology, never knew why he didnt go to O&G. He decided to go to academia.

Schools should send letters for law school, grad school in fricking Classical studies or some shite, and film school, or art hsitory.
This girl I know is paying out of state tution to major in film and pottery. LSU's film program is terrible. Colleges need to be more transparent especially the theater program.
