@CU123 my husband is a chemical engineering graduate from Case Western. He was recruited by BP, Dow and Proctor and Gamble out of college, he took the BP job to be closer to me while I attended paralegal school in Philly , so that is how he got into petroleum, it could just as easily been chemicals with Dow or manufcturering with P&G. The company he works for now actually has (or I should say had don’t know if it is still the case) a list of preferred schools to consider when selecting who to interiew. Back when he was reviewing potential candidates, particularly new hires, he was surprised at the schools that made the list and those that did not. Case was not on the list…experience is what earned him his initial interview. BTW in his technical niche directly related to refining he works with surprisingly few A&M grads and not a single CSOM grad, I’d have to ask him but I don’t believe any of them are “petroleum” grads either.
