hey sifus, i've tried to search around, but i think dis may be d best place to ask.

i'm currently in my final year as an aerospace engineering student and i'm very interested in joining the oil n gas industries seeing as how my seniors n fellow family friends have "lured" me. They say it's d most monetarily rewarding with great benefits. I'm not lying when i say dat money is my main motivation right now.

So my question is, am i qualified to apply for a job in this industry? My cgpa is a tad short of 3.5 Here are the list of subjects i took as an undergrad. Perhaps it can help shed some light.

ENGINEERING LAB 1
COMPUTING SYSTEMS & PROGRAMMING

I'd also like to know how can i apply the knowledge from my course in the oil and gas industry? When we graduate, we'll be granted bachelors of mechanical(aerospace) engineering.

Hope u guys can help me out. Sorry if i dont provide enough info. THANK YOU!

depend's on the post,if u are applying for a field engineer position,nobody actually cares about what engineering background that u have.

if u are applying for any position which has some relation to mechanical engineering such as drilling engineer I believe u would still stand a chance.

i see. i wonder wut to answer if i'm asked how does my course relate to oil and gas. a friend of mine said since i'm took aerospace propulsion (which also teaches turbomachinery), then dats a gud starting answer as those drill heads are driven by turboshaft, so i can b of use somehow.


thank you so much! this is gold!

Why is dat so eh?
