Yeah it pays a lot of money, but as far as actual engineering, the amount of chemical coursework wasn't that intensive. You basically learn Darcy's Law a million times over, throw in some statistical analysis, pressure, etc. Like prepare you for the upstream side. Downstream is where all the chemical guys worked, and I don't really have any idea all the shite that happens at a refinery. At least that is how Texas A&M was focused, almost all E&P.
So you're saying its quite a bit easier than ChemE (easily the toughest engineering) but makes the most by quite a wide margin? Wtf?

A lot of being a petroleum engineer is a LOT of business and economics. We had a lot of those classes as well. You're tied directly to a commodity, and that commodity being energy. And it is because of this, I've found petroleum engineers to be the most personable and relatable in the business world. I would think it was easier for me than ChemE would have been, but everyone is different.
