<p>I really want to go into Petroleum engineering now but I've heard so many different stories on it and I don't know what or who to trust. Some say the job opportunities are decreasing dramatically whereas others say the future prospects look great! Yes I know there are TONS of threads about this but, again, I've heard so many opposing views that I don't know who to listen to. Please help!</p>
<p>You’re going to find the same answers here that were said in the past. Just go look. There’s like 20 threads dedicated to this one topic.</p>
<p>if thats what you wanna do then go do it. I just started my first year of petro. there will be jobs available dont worry.</p>
<p>Honestly, it is a gamble. The oil and gas industry is very volatile and unpredictable (just like finding oil itself). It is like rolling the dice.</p>
