<p>I should be apologizing. I just assumed you were another person on here who didn’t know anything, talking about the downfall of oil. I looked at half your pose, assumed, and then fired. I get very offensive over this, because I have put all my eggs in one basket and I’m taking the leap into it. I think it’s safe, so do all the professors at every PE department. If something does happen, unlikely; I will just get my masters in IE, so no biggie. Well and I would be devestated.</p>
<p>And PE is not just great about the money; it’s great because no other job will let you travel around the world, settling for a cozy desk job in Houston when you get older. No job will provide the experience PE brings. If you want to exit and go into business; MBAs will always look for PEs.</p>
<p>And yes PE will be grim…</p>
<p>… in 50+ years</p>
<p>P.S. what are these elite schools you speak of? UT, A&M?</p>
