petroleum engineering

<p>Dayman: The WVU Career Center should have a complete list of companies that come to the school to recruit PEs. I’ve been extremely impressed with every WVU grad I’ve worked with.</p>

<p>So I was just reading my way down this thread, and like many of you, I started wondering where Forever LSU got off to. Go to his profile and click “About Me.” Geez, wonder what happened?</p>

<p>Bruthamam- can I contact you via email? I would like to ask you a few questions similar to lelliots…I can’t message you b/c I get a message telling me that I need to have 15 posts before I can private message any one. My email is carloz827 at hotmail dot com thanks beforehand and I hope to hear from you soon.</p>

<p>I’m currently a final year student studying BE in chemical engineering in India. I am going to pursue a Masters degree in petroleum engg in fall,2015 in the US. I will complete my BE degree by april,2014.I AM FREE FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR. So, my query is :
What can i do in this 1 year time that will:
1)enhance my knowledge in the same field ?
2) increase my chances of getting into a top US university ?</p>

<p>There are many 1 year or short term petroleum engg courses available. Will they help ?
I basically want to prepare myself for a masters degree as i am not confident enough.</p>

Thanks for the info

No not today’s world. Petroleum engineering entry level salary is roughly 100k

First of all the thread has been long dead. Second of all, with oil below $30 a barrel you’ll be lucky to get a petroleum job, let alone start at $100k.
