Petroleum Engineering Felony Question
Petroleum Engineering Felony Question
(OP)
I am starting college this fall and I plan on majoring for Petroleum Engineering. Now the problem is I have a felony conviction of "Harassment of a Public Servant". I also have a few misdemeanors like false police report, Public intoxication (x2), possession marijuana, and that's it. I see that with my felony conviction is restricts me from many different jobs in the world. I am from Houston, Texas currently living in Michigan at the moment, but will be back in Houston to start college. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me? Is this field something I could get into with a felony conviction? Also what have yall heard about Mechanical Engineering and getting into that? I figured I rather ask a forum where people are actual petroleum engineers and not some guy who thinks he knows what he's talking about. Thank you in advanced.

I do not think those are going to be really bad marks on you
It is also possible to work in the oil field and never really need those if you do not visit any sites

Noting your age and that high school has been a while back; make sure you are prepared for what is going to hit you when you jump into an Engineering curriculum. I did pretty much the same thing in going back to school and working my way through Pet.E. degree at TAMU. It was so much harder than the kids who went straight from High School to college. But it CAN BE DONE; I was 30 when I finally got my degree and sticking it out was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Best of luck to you; if you put your head down and grind, you'll make it and never regret it.

As for the age. I graduated at 35. My wife will have finished her Law degree at 42. It is never really too late. Yes it will feel weird when you have a boss that is younger than you.

Curious you are wanting a Pet.E. degree with oil having dropped below $50.....not a great time to look for a Pet.E. job right now. There is no more volatile business that I know of.
The main advice I would give, and advice I wish I had been given, is: spend a lot of time doing what you are doing now, investigating all the options from professionals who have seen a few decades pass. Then, once you make a decision, commit to it, put your head down and give it everything you've got until you finish. Do not let circumstances deter you. Once you jump in the water, don't stop swimming until you reach the other side. I doubt you will ever regret it.
