Career Path Forecast
 According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
petroleum engineers are expected to have employment growth of 18 percent
over the projections decade, faster than the average for all
occupations. Petroleum engineers increasingly will be needed to develop
new resources, as well as new methods of extracting more from existing
sources.
Excellent opportunities are expected for petroleum engineers because the
number of job openings is likely to exceed the relatively small number
of graduates. Petroleum engineers work around the world, and in fact,
the best employment opportunities may include some work in other
countries.
