<p>I am a high school student preparing to apply to colleges. This upcoming Monday, I will be attending a tour of Penn State. I plan to veer off and talk with a petroleum engineering professor (chair), whom I have scheduled a meeting with. I am going to ask questions regarding both the petroleum engineering major and career. I am concerned with the future and some specifics of the job. Basically I want to learn about the career. I also want to use this as a networking opportunity.</p>
<p>What are some good questions to ask in the meeting? Any advice or ideas would be helpful.</p>
<p>Some I had in mind:</p>
<p>What is your personal opinion on the future of the oil industry?</p>
<p>Where do most Penn State graduates find work?</p>
