<p>The field interests me greatly, although my focus has been primarily linguistic/cultural, thus: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/802020-texas-has-bison-but-vermont-has-ski-slopes-where-shall-i-end-up.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/802020-texas-has-bison-but-vermont-has-ski-slopes-where-shall-i-end-up.html</a></p>
<p>Would you say it's still doable?</p>
<p>What…?</p>
<p>I apologize, Mr Payne, my first post was rather pathetic. I’ll try again.</p>
<p>I wish to pursue petroleum engineering at university, although my attached statistics (see link) point to the direction of languages and international relations majors. Thus, I’m curious if any respectable petroleum engineering program would take an interest in me. I’m looking at University of Texas at Austin as my top-choice for said major, and perhaps Stanford, with Texas A&M being my final option. Is it worth a shot? I realize it’s rather…peculiar, but nonetheless, I find the field fascinating.</p>
<p>Well, you’ll get in to UT & TAMU undoubtedly. The simple fact of the matter is that while people have interests in certain things (like languages & IR) it doesn’t neccessarily mean they will major in them. </p>
<p>PetE will probably be a good career for ~20 years in the US, any longer than that is hard to tell.</p>
<p>The field interests you greatly?</p>
<p>You’re interested by black liquid and mud cakes? Nice, dude.</p>
<p>Seriously though if I were you I’d go to TAMU. There are some amazingly hot country girls there. Judging by what I’ve heard about the PetroE lifestyle, you should probably make yourself sick of sex while you can.</p>
<p>
Yeah…that’s what I was thinking.</p>
<p>It’s a job, nothing more or less.</p>
