With the industry still down, it is hard for the petroleum graduates to get out and find jobs. You had a large number of the younger engineers get laid off in 2014-2015 and are now getting back to work. This leaves no room for the new grads to get jobs unless your GPA is way up there and get picked up by a major.

Kind of surprised me. I'd think with the way all this data mining is going, this industry would be booming.

Curious whether or not AI integration affects the industry?
