I am a student in NC and we don't have Petroleum Engineering available, so I am getting an industrial engineering technology degree. Is it possible for me to get a masters in petroleum engineering ?

Typically, a master's program will require you to have an undergraduate engineering degree, as opposed to an a technology degree.  You should check direcltly with schools that offer a masters in petroleum engineering.  If you had a degree in chemical engineering, for example, you could probably pursue a masters in petroleum with some additional coursework.  If you have your heart set on petroleum engineering, I suggest you consider trying to transfer to a school that offers petroleum engineering bachelor's degree.  If your grades are good, you might be able to qualify for some scholarship money.

I think it will be very difficult to get a job unless you can get a company to sponsor you for a green card or for citizenship. Typically, you need to possess a unique skill that is in high demand and short supply. Due to steep drop in oil prices for the past 6 months, the demand for petroleum engineers is down and there is an oversupply,

I am a single 38yo dad of a 12yo daughter. I am considering moving from IL to TX to attend Schl for PE. Is PE conducive to being there for my daughter? I'm all she has until I marry. Is there a specific job I could do with little/ no travel? Thanks
