<p>GMTplus7, thank you so much for all your advice, I just read the PM but couldnt reply because I have below 15 post/replys, but I did take the time to read everything. I really appreciate your help. Do you know if UVA is a good school for graduate work in this? I know you pointed out some good schools in oil states such as Texas A&M and Colorado School of Mines (one I had been looking at before), but do they recruit at UVA?</p>
