You proved your stupidity not once, but twice in this sentence.
In the late 80's and early 90's many geologist and PE were unemployed and had to leave the industry because the price of oil was to low to justify drilling new wells.
The state of Louisiana had an out-migration of more than 20,000 people during that period.
The O&G industry is historically very volatile but the last 15-20 years has seen a great run because of high prices and new technology. But the new technology means nothing without the price being high enough to support it.

Do you people really think geoscientists only work in O&G?
My god. There are thousands of jobs throughout the country for geoscientists. I look at them weekly. Hell one could go make 80k/yr for the city of New York as a geoscientist, and they have multiple positions available. One could also go be a volcanologist in Hawaii for 72k/yr and they also have multiple slots to fill as well.
Point is, comparing the difference between Geoscientists and PETEs job outlook if the petroleum industry tanks is foolish.
