changing form mech. to petro. engineering

hey guys,
i m student at South east Missouri state uni. doing mech. engineering and want to switch to petroleum engineering in Houston community college for AAS. but i would like to know that once i complete my AAS of two years will i get job ,so that i can pay UH tuition fees ??
and also will UH accept students from HCC??

AND will it be technician degree or engineering degree ??
( u can also tell about any college other than HCC)

It took my nephew almost two years to find a job with his PE diploma. He went to that Missouri S&T. He isn’t in the best location in the world and owes big money for loans. Most community colleges give tech degrees not university level diplomas.

thanx aunt bea …but i think getting a job in Texas is more easy than getting a job in MO for petroleum feild

He especially tried Texas, with no luck, and all over the US. He finally found one in Arkansas.
