hi guys, is there any lady working at oil rig? i am girl and i am thinking to study petroleum engineering but i am worried after graduate i will be given a job that requires to work under sun all day. Do offshore engineers work under sun all day? Which degree is more suitable for oil and gas jobs? Chemical engineering or petroleum engineering? Which major do oil companies prefer? will studying petroleum engineering restrict career choices afterwards? can a petroleum engineer work in other industry other than oil and gas? btw, the other industry i mean is those industries that will let me utilize the knowledge i got from my degree not like banking or sales. any help is much appreciated. thank you tongue.gif

Chemical engineering are better than petroleum engineering since petroleum are part of chemical(in general terms).
Also, after you graduated on chemical engineering, your job market are wider. And if you are lucky to join O&G companies, then only continue study on petroleum engineering.
O&G companies don't really bother much on fresh graduates, they prefer jumping frogs with experience.
Best of all, once you acquire both paper and skills, don't limit your self as a kampung hero, go outside of Malaysia and you will be rewarded. The pay you can get easily 4X more than what you earn in Malaysia with extra leaves sometimes.
Then at the same time study business admin.

thanks for the reply..may i know do oil companies hire ladies to work offshore? and do they work under sun? does studying engineering at utp provide more chances to get oil and gas jobs?
