There are more civil jobs available, but they don't generally pay as much.
Petroleum pays more, but there is a glut of graduates combined with the industry itself practically in freefall.
Civil is by far the better degree to have today, though that wasn't the case 4 years ago, and may or may not be the case 4 years from now.

Anything is better than petroleum for the simple reason that, in a boom, when oil salaries are highest, companies will pay to certify you as a PetEng

better hope the oilfield comes back
a petro degree is as valuable as a woman's studies degree right now

I'm going back for civil. Had done some civil work as a draftsman before I went in the oilfield.

Spouse is electrical. We've done well.

Depends on what school you go to.

In other words which jobs are more secure?

Civil. It's the broadest field of any engineering.

Right now civil. When the oil market is booming, no question petroleum.
Civil is extremely unspecialized and leaves a lot open after graduation though.
ETA: By unspecialized I mean
