<p>What wiil be the average salary of a petroleum engineer in USA with a bachelor’s degree+Phd+MBA.</p>
<p>Guys give plz give me an answer quickly.
Cheers!!!</p>
<p>Haha, before you go asking about getting all these degrees, maybe you ought to look into what a PhD and an MBA are for. The two rarely ever complement each other, especially in petroleum. Shoot, you don’t need either of them to make a good buck in petroleum. Stop basing life choices on money alone.</p>
<p>Guys this answer wasn’t helpful. Can someone gine me a good answer please?</p>
<p>Nope. Because there isn’t one. It’s a silly question. To be honest your salary is likely $0 at this point because petroleum companies don’t really have use for someone with a Ph.D. and MBA.</p>
<p>Yep, you need to decide what you want to do and focus on THAT. Don’t try to get a bunch of degrees just to look impressive and demand a lot of of money - it won’t happen.</p>
<p>If you get a phd in petroleum your starting salary will plummet because you will be overspecialized.</p>
<p>Research the companies to find the answer. Glassdoor helps.</p>
<p>I been wondering one thing myself. For drilling engineers in particular.
Is it really salary based or hourly? Many sources say salary but i heard
posters claim its hourly.</p>
<p>My brother and father are engineers in the oil industry. My brother graduated last May and went right into the oilfield. He is salary, and from what I understand it is a base salary of $78k annually, plus he gets a brand new pickup every 3 years along with free fuel for personal use. My father has been at it a long time and he makes very good money. He could have retired years ago, but the oilfield is his life so he keeps working.</p>
<p>Getting a PhD in Petroleum Engineering and an MBA is a waste of time. If you have a PhD, you’ll likely be working in R&D (Research and Development) where you won’t have much time to do anything business related. If you did MBA, you’ll more than likely be affiliated with management. Decide which way you’d like to be and come back.</p>
<p>As far as salary goes, bachelor in petroleum engineers will make about $80k based on this article:
