[size=14pt]Wow! I some times see t22 at the bottom of posts in other section, I never knew he is such a helper. Man, I admire your work. Keep it up.

I don't have time to go through the whole pages but just the last few, noticed most of the people paticipating are either in chemical, petroleum, geology or other closely related fields.

I want to inquire about, someone who studied BSc mechanical engineering, what is the best oftion for masters in the US. I personaly, MSc in marine engineering is a nice idea, but I also want something related to gas! So my question is, do you have an idea of a MSc programme that blends this two together, what areas are best for mechanical engineer to futher his study and if there are any marine engineers that are experienced can you share with us.
Thank you[/size]

d optimist: I know this is a Total forum but I have to say, the sooner we (I mean you all) stop putting too much emphasis on working in the oil and gas industry, the better things will get!
It's sad to see that so many people can't see their careers progressing beyond employment in oil and gas (15 - 20 years is all you need statement refers).

There you go

The bolded and coloured part of quote is a very wrong allegation. Tell me where you saw in the entire posts on this topic where someone talked about working for an oil company all their life? Most people here are young and still at the early stage of their career so there is nothing wrong in them exchanging ideas on how to jump start their career.

AjanleKoko:

2good:

AjanleKoko:

Why can't they jump-start their careers in NIPOST?

Maybe I should start a new thread. NIPOST Postal Workers

2good:

You can even start a thread about working in Lagos State Ministry and anybody that like such career is free to aspire to work there. Its a free world bro..

AjanleKoko:

There's no need for the sarcasm, ogbeni.
Na human beings dey work for Lagos State ministry

2good:

When U mention NIPOST you forget say na people dey work there?

AjanleKoko:

Of course, na people dey work there.
Which is why I asked why people can't start their career in NIPOST

davidylan: People should not overlook chemical companies though. I have it on confirmed insider info that 3M and Dow chemical company are going to be moving to Nigeria very very soon. Great companies to work for.

debosky:

You don't say. . . .if they are willing to pay oil company-esque armed robber salaries than count me in.

netotse:

I know a lot of industries in nigeria view 3M gear as the ultimate when it comes to safety, so I'm guessing they've noticed and want to eliminate all the middlemen involved.

@Debosky
ko jo o, na only politics fit pay that kain money, go join PDP

davidylan:

You go wait tire. At 3M and Dow USA, the pay is at least 10-15% less than that obtainable in oil companies for comparable positions. But they are very good companies to work for.

holusormi: hii peeps, pls i noticed most of the people conversing here are chemical engineers,petrolechemical grads,mining greads ..etc
i wanted to ask what ma career prospects are as a mechanical engineering graduate, to work at total do i need to get ma masters in a petroleum related course or offshore engineering or shuld i simply do ma masters in mechanical engineering? what are ma prospects pls??/

Insanity: Hey peeps,
i've finally decided on the schools for my post graduate studies...
Geotech Engineering-Texas A&M
Geotech Eng- U texas Austin
Geological science and Engineering- Colorado school of Mines.
What do U guys think? i pray one of those will admit me.
Someone jst told me that Texas A&M hardly admit international students...i doubt that bt i just wanna confirm so dat i don't waste d application fee.
What of Delf University netherland? Heard its a very good sch for engineering.
Am also thinking of switching to Petroleum Engineering MEng @ University of Tulsa..please judging from the fact that i did Civil Eng B.Eng..is that a good career move..i need you guys that are more experienced in this to advice me.
