Phish is gay. Only people I know that like them are under achieving frat guys that have daddy’s money that want everyone to know they like them and prove they’re really hipster/tight. Literally every one that I know.

Justin Ayers?

I have an undergrad in PETE from LSU and getting masters in PETE from TAMU and Full time MBA from Duke. Only difference is it’s much harder to get into Duke. FWIW LSU undergrad petroleum engineering is much harder than Duke MBA.

I was at the Valero on E 70th and Line in Shreveport. The guy in front of me tried to buy cigarillos and lottery tickets with arcade tokens. He was pissed when told no. When I was leaving the parking lot, there were two outstanding citizens fighting in the middle of line ave. When they finished, one proceeded to bang on windows begging for cash. The driver got scared and took off hitting the car in front of him. Felt I had to share this experience here and am sure there’s been others that went through something similar. I try to avoid Cedar Grove

I didn’t choose to move home. I was laid off which means no more money. Rent is due when you live on your own. With no more money you can’t pay rent. I tried staying by myself for 4 months, but the money was running out, and you start to feel batshit crazy when you’re unemployed cooked up in your apartment all alone for 4 months. The only option is to move home. When you move 400 miles home, whatever girl you’re talking with most likely won’t continue talking to you especially because you’re most likely not going back to that city. None of it was really a choice.

You have no idea what company I worked for and are making very broad generalizations. Completely sidetracked my main point that these execs are making multimillion dollars. Instead of taking a pay cut of half a mil or forfeit their bonus on top of their very comfortable 7 million dollar a year lifestyle, they decide to cut 5 employees whose lives will be completely destroyed by it. I truly think there’s a spot in hell for these kinds of people. I’ve been a part of too much getting fricked over in oil and gas. I’m never going back

Very true. It’s ruined my life up to this point. I graduated PETE 4 years ago and have been employed only 2 years. I’m living at my parents for 8 months now. I can’t start a family or start anything because I’ve been laid off twice so the CEO can maintain his 7.7 mil salary and not a 7.6 mil salary. Oil execs deserve every bit of this. Made the decision to get out and got an $80,000 scholarship to Duke MBA. So glad I’m getting out. There literally isn’t a worse career that you can have than being a petroleum engineer in your twenties. You’re absolutely fricked if you didn’t land a gig with a major right out of school or don’t have daddy’s connections. I’d love to see the CEOs face at the last company I worked for now their stock is down 99% in 2 years and is at 20 cents a share. So many smart talented young petroleum engineers not working or making minimum wage right now.

Graduated PETE 2016 from LSU. I’ve been employed 40% of the time since graduating. I’ve had to live at my parents for 2 years. I can’t start a life with a girl because I keep moving and laid off. It’s truly awful. I’ll get a job. The company tanks. Then I move back home. Then it takes 7-8 months to find another job. Rinse and repeat. This was at $55 barrel oil too. At $22, good night lol. Luckily, I killed the GMAT and GRE and got an $80,000 scholarship to Duke and Yale full time MBA. Gonna get out of this truly shitty industry. It’s ruined my life up to this point. I’m taking a couple masters petroleum engineering courses from Texas A&M to put on my resume to hopefully land consulting or tech spots with MBB or FAANG. Those outside of the industry can feel bad for those in it, but they truly have no idea how shitty it is that I’m just stuck and can’t start a life. What pisses me off even more are the guys with 2.3 GPAs that got PETE jobs because of daddy’s connections. They earned zero of it and take it for granted. Truly, frick those guys.

I was a production engineer for an operator before being laid off and we had to pay people to buy our natural gas in west Texas there was such an over supply
