<p>First, you are going about this the wrong way. Don’t go for a petroleum engineering degree just because your uncle tells you it is lucrative. If you aren’t interested in the field, don’t go into it. This is especially true with petroleum where many of the engineers work strange, grueling schedules, and if you aren’t actually interested in the industry, you will likely burn out.</p>
<p>Second, just because you have two degrees, one that is lucrative and one that is your passion, doesn’t mean you will have any easier a time finding a job than someone with just one of the two. For one, those two degrees don’t have a lot of overlap, so there won’t likely be many employers seeing having both of them as an advantage. For two, some companies will view it negatively amid questions about what your true interests are.</p>
