<p>Can anyone provide tips or examples on formulating a thoughtful one or two minute speech why you are interested in Petroleum Engineering as a major? I am going to be attending a student conference where there will be Oil/Natural Gas industry reps and I would like to have a solid speech memorized. Please don’t list obvious reasons such as: high pay, job security or my Dad works in the industry.</p>
<p>Well, why are you interested in Petroleum Engineering? </p>
<p>Do you want to be able to travel to far away places like Alaska, South America and Arabia? Do you want to solve undersea drilling problems? Do you want to help increase well production or re-open old wells? Do you want to increase safety and solve environmental problems? Or do you just want to be a Texas oil wildcat?</p>
