<p>Right now I am an undergrad student and will be graduating with a BS in Geology next year. My goal is to someday obtain a management position in the oil and gas industry, I know I will eventually pursue an MS degree but I would like to hear your thoughts on which one would be most beneficial a MS in Geology or an MS in Pet Eng? Does it really matter? I would appreciate any feedback.</p>
<p>Either are sought out by employers for their different expertises. If you’re still interested in geology and motivated to deepen that knowledge then take the MS in Geology. </p>
<p>If the geology’s lost its sparkle and you feel you’ve got the pre-reqs to do well in the chemistry and engineering elements then choose that.</p>
<p>Engineering really sparks my interest but my local university does not offer engineering degrees (CSUB) so Geology would be my best option to get me started in the industry. I know that a Masters will really open more doors but I’m just wondering if an MS in Pet Eng would be more helpful. If I did go for the engineering degree I would probably do it online maybe (USC). I’ve been looking up the bios of oil company executives and most of them have some sort of engineering degree.</p>
