<p>I have nothing against petroleum engineering as a whole. What I do get annoyed with is the fact that you suggest petroleum engineering in pretty much every circumstance, even if it doesn’t really fit the criteria set forth by the OP. It doesn’t matter how much it pays; it still doesn’t fit every situation like you seem to suggest.</p>
<p>For example, someone asks about getting a BS in engineering and business, and you suggest an MS in petroleum engineering management? It is the wrong degree, for starters.</p>
<p>Listen, for people who want to be a petroleum engineer, good for them. I encourage them to follow their dreams. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all sort of deal. It just isn’t, especially with petroleum engineering.</p>
