<p>Hi,
I just completed my Masters in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot Watt University,Dubai. I did my undergrad in Mechanical Engineering in India. I have very good academic scores in both my degrees.I have 0 work exp as of now. I am looking out for employment opportunities worldwide currently. So far, haven't had any real positive developments yet. My area of interest is specifically drilling and exploration of Oil and Gas. </p>

<p>I am thinking about coming and doing a management course or some other course related to the petroleum industry in Houston. I figured that staying in Houston would give me an advantage cause all the Oil companies are based there. </p>

<p>Could you please tell me if this is advisable. How are the employment opportunities currently in the Industry? I basically need an entry into the Industry.. even if it's in the form of internships.... that's alright.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your help.</p>

<p>You should post this on the Parents Forum, where people currently employed in the industry are more likely to find your question.</p>
