If dapat mechanical engineering, do tht bro...i think mech engineer is one of the most versatile discipline in the engineering field... cos when come to think bout it, everything related to mechanics, klau tak da mech engineer, no BMW, no fan, no air cond, no car and of course no petrol also...

on a side note, is UTP open for application atm? 

Why would UTP not have PE degree? If I am in your position, I would take Mech E or PE (still cannot comprehend why UTP do not have PE degree), I suspect it's not under the science stream but in the engineering faculty.

Sorry for the late reply. Currently in Malaysia so have not had the chance to read the thread.

which uni you are in now? I would say nowadays UTP is not really good as per what you'll expected. Environment, facilities and academic staffs, yes they are one of the best, but in term of management, kinda lousy. They are now taking students with lower requirements from SPM and such, due to their need to increase its capacity. UTP now become more profit-driven institute. I believe this is due to Pet is slowly reducing their sponsorship to the UTP. Even the scholarship provided to the even lesser and lesser.

But that's only a small factors that you'll need to consider. Apart from that, UTP is a really great place to study.

Hi guys, i just joined oil and gas industry few months ago.. quitted my 1st job at one of chemical plant and change career path to oil and gas.. now work as metering engineer. took some time to read all the oil and gas career topic.. now still stuck at v3

I joined the OnG industry as a subsea trees design engineer about 5 months ago, and only came across this thread today.

Looking forward to learn from the sifus here! Sila tunjuk ajar.

Not really. If you were doing a Physics or any science background, I would say you're okay but if your diploma is Mechanical Engineering, I still cannot understand why they offered you Petroleum Geoscience unless they expact you to start as a freshie (meaning not being able to carry the Mec Engr diploma)

If you have no other choice and are willing to start fresh. Go for it. The prospect for a career as a Geologist is bright. You can also contribute to the team since you do have some background in Mech Engineering so people can't BS you that much when they talk about Facilities.

if your intention is to join the E&P, a "rojak" academic background(mecha+geoscience) will definitely helps you in later years to come.you can easily integrate what you learnt in the past with what you currently working on if you are involved in field development project. if you intended to pursue pure mechanical engineering course, definitely this will opens up more chances for you to join the O&G as mechanical engineering is a very versatile degree. relatively, a geoscience background might lack in versatility if compare to a mecha background.but at the end, who has the highest probability to have the highest earning power?? .well, of course it's highly dependent on your personal characteristics and attitude.

PS:many people likes to eat rojak...rojak is the best

What about FS ? i heard the pay is big too, especially their allowance? i guess both FE and FS has its own Pros ?

great to know. because i am about to enter downstream and just wondering if it is possible to switch in the future. thanks for the info. anyone else can re-confirm this?

just about to join petronas as a fresh grad
