Lawyer?

.....yes :/

I do find the engineering rather fascinating, though.

Sabidojo, likes to smoke the puff puff too! This is a well known fact, my good sir.

Dear Admitted Aggie PETE Applicant,
The Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University, is pleased that you applied and were admitted to our top ranked petroleum engineering program. If you pursue a degree in petroleum engineering, our program is committed to providing the highest quality education available.
Recent data suggests that some concern about the sustainability of the entry level job market during a time of explosive growth in the number of students studying petroleum engineering in U.S. universities may be prudent.
Our advice is that you become aware of graduation projections and petroleum industry employment outlook for people with petroleum engineering degrees. For example, between fall 2011 and fall 2012, the number of freshmen in petroleum engineering programs in the U.S. increased from 1,388 to 2,153, a 55% jump in one year. Based on the many inquiries and applications TAMU is receiving for the petroleum engineering major, the number of U.S. students in petroleum engineering will probably continue a strong upward trend, as long as the employment market remains stable.
These days, a very large number of people are already studying in petroleum engineering programs (see attachment, showing data made available through the Society of Petroleum Engineers, SPE), at a time when: the number of recent graduates, who began their studies several years ago, is already at about historical highs and growing rapidly (see attachment); our program’s board of industry advisors are recommending that we “do not grow” our undergraduate program at this time; and oil and natural gas price projections and expectations of U.S. governmental policy influences are viewed as not particularly encouraging by the U.S. petroleum industry.
We are not trying to discourage you from a career that we think is among the most fascinating, dynamic, challenging careers that exist. However, we also want you to know that the Aggie PETE program is doing the right thing by providing you with information that could end up being important to your future.

There are some shitty engineering graduates out there and it is very easy for employers to weed them out.

I know a few civil engineers that have struggled to find work, or at least a job above 40k/year. That's what I was considering, but after looking at the job market I decided on building construction.

I apologize, I am using my phone and not a keyboard. I typically have very good Grammer in my sentence structure. I will try to make some edits. Grammar mistakes are not a sign of intellect,I have seen professionals make mistakes.

Define, shitty graduates? You mean they're shitty sloppy people? Zero personalities? Lack of intelligence?
Care to elaborate?

Oh, well, you know me. Can't seem to keep my hands off the pots.

Engineering degrees are among the most valuable college degrees despite the fact that the job market has highs and lows. Very favorable risk:reward ratio.
You need to do at least one internship while you're in school though for your own benefit. It's easy to do well in an engineering program and think you can just roll into a job and kick arse. It doesn't work like that.
I found my internship to be humbling.

Engineering in general to a degree. But I am more curious about Nanosystems, Biomedical, and Industrial.

What the reasoning for the master's degree?
Because having 3+ years of experience is worth more than just a master's.

There's a shortage of people willing to work for the shitty salaries BR companies are wanting to pay

Primarily due to interest. And I think I may have to redo this thread, since my auto correct apparently has turned people off.
I actually obtained a Physics BS from Louisiana Tech University. I wanted to change careers so I came to Southern to do Engineering.
I want experience but most people will not give an engineering intern to a Physics guy.

I'm a EE major at LSU. A 32 yr old junior and interned at Adobe Software in Seattle last summer. Internships are vital.
I spent 10 years in the Army and have milestones of life experience over the average student. I see a lot of shitheads on a daily basis think they're cut out for engineering only to burn through mommy and daddy's money and end up majoring in business.
Engineering must be treated like a full time job while in school or failure is imminent.
