They must REALLY love their potential PTE students at A&M.

That's a lot of kisses.

if it's Tulane, figure $50K plus per year just tuition.

Does anyone know much about Tulane's energy management program?


I looked into a little bit last year. It's geared toward trading.

I know that's pretty standard for the majors. I am more interested to see the placement statistics for LSU's program as a whole. Do you think it's on par with the numbers I posted above? Seems like the Exxons/Chevrons would have the lowest placement rates of all recruiting companies. I would hope Careers2Geaux's placement statistics are better than that.


According to LSU's voluntary grad exit survey, 80% of the college has a job or been accepted to Grad school at the time of graduation. That's pretty damn strong.

Could you imagine if all universities and their various colleges were that frank with their students? It would absolutely devastate the liberal arts programs.



I recall LSU's graduate writing department publishing a disclaimer on its webpage around 2002 or so.

Yet Pharmacy schools continue taking poor saps money despite a negative job projection over the next 10 years

You bumped a five and a half year old thread.

Impressive.

Graduated PETE 2016 from LSU. I’ve been employed 40% of the time since graduating. I’ve had to live at my parents for 2 years. I can’t start a life with a girl because I keep moving and laid off. It’s truly awful. I’ll get a job. The company tanks. Then I move back home. Then it takes 7-8 months to find another job. Rinse and repeat. This was at $55 barrel oil too. At $22, good night lol. Luckily, I killed the GMAT and GRE and got an $80,000 scholarship to Duke and Yale full time MBA. Gonna get out of this truly shitty industry. It’s ruined my life up to this point. I’m taking a couple masters petroleum engineering courses from Texas A&M to put on my resume to hopefully land consulting or tech spots with MBB or FAANG. Those outside of the industry can feel bad for those in it, but they truly have no idea how shitty it is that I’m just stuck and can’t start a life. What pisses me off even more are the guys with 2.3 GPAs that got PETE jobs because of daddy’s connections. They earned zero of it and take it for granted. Truly, frick those guys.

Got convinced a month before I started undergrad to go into healthcare instead of electrical engineering.

Thankfully I found something I like, but I regret it every time I look at my student loan balance

I know the money is great in O&G but the volatility is just too much for me personally
