Hi bros n Sifus. I am currently doing master's in petroleum eng - UTM as a part time student. Graduated in Chem (Petroleum Major-hons) eng.

I am looking for ong vacancy. Now I am doing water & waste treatment for industry and municipal-2 years experience - Project, business dev. Others, I been working as kuli macai in non related profession for few years.

I have been trying to get into this industry for quite a while. No invitation for interview whatsoever.

Now I am more focus than ever to get into this industry since my good friend left for petrofac - his first step into this industry after few years of working. He also doing master in UTP - jalan semarak.

I also want to liaise my work with my study, so I am seeking your expertise and good advise for my dilemma..chio

Hello everyone,

Just hoping to get some opinion here. Same here, graduated with a chem eng degree last year. Been working in a project management role for almost a year in the oil and gas industry. Am hoping for a more technical role in the future. Was gonna leave my comfort zone and do a full time master degree. Some say that this is a suicidal mission and that probably i wont make it back to the industry.

I received offers from Heriot-Watt, UTM & UTP albeit its research mode in UTP and taught for the former two. I am in a terrible dilemma. So should I do a research mode master degree or a taught one? Negative thoughts has been running all over my head since and that research masters are less recognized by employers. Is this true?

Fees is a factor here. Assuming that I do not want to continue phD after masters, which is the best choice for me given my current scenario. However, I also hear that some people say that companies employed people based on their accomplishment which is an indication of their capability and that their research title is secondary (even though its not related).

P/s: Research title is on EOR.

Help me pleaseeee. Desperately wanna hear an opinion or two.

Just do whatever you think is the best for you. get a second opinion. As for me, I need the money to support myself and family, that's y i am doing it as part time.

Just go for utm. they offer a quite reasonable fee. As for my coursework, the price difference between utp and utm is around 35k. plus utp doesn't have out campus for this course. just check yours.

job seek wise, you already have the experience in this industry. shouldn't be a problem. I got several offers but all of them are water and sale - based on my experience. ain't nobody got no time for that!
