I know.

I said one of the few...

In Texas I know it's UT, A&M, UH, and Tech...

UH is closest to Galveston though

Misread. My apologies. I was thinking that UH is not offering a unique enough program (since other schools do have it) in Petroleum Engineering. I can't shake off that a friend with a UT Austin degree in Petroleum Engineering has been unable to find work since his layoff late 2014. I can only imagine it will be a while before Petroleum Engineering becomes a sought-after major again. If it still is, I'd be surprised! I would not advise a young person to choose it as their major as it is too specialized IMO.

Petroleum is very specialized

But as with all engineering it requires a high amount of logic and critical thinking ...

I wouldn't recommend Petoleum either , at least not for the next 1-2 years until O&G goes back up

I've met a few guys who still had somewhat relevant skill set to get work as an analyst , but analyst work isn't really that difficult to be honest... But they would still need to know some SQL, which most engineers can pick up very quickly (I did as a junior engineer)and could get them some sort of a job but I wouldn't recommend it either
