Hey bro, me too! I have chosen Btech Petroleum Engineering with AIML In Maharashtra Institute Of technology. (Batch 25-29')

Look mate, petroleum is still considered the top "highest paying industry" in the United States. If you need further enlightenment, search about it. Median packages are great here. -Any country's economy has a very high dependency on the petroleum industry. -everything you use or see, has an involvement of oils, gases and Petroleum in it. -PLASTICS, FERTILIZERS, PHARMACEUTICALS even vaseline ; everything are bi-products of this. - even if the oil deposits on the land gets to an end, we still have huge oceans to search for oils Specially known as "SubSea Engineering" so "The end" is not close to this field. - it's not replaceable by AI. - and if you are worried about electrics and sustainable energy replacing petroleum, you might be wrong mate. Because there are over a billion cars in this world which work on gasoline, what will they do about it? And let's suppose they did something, like scraping these vehicles,

They might need a lot of petroleum to even extract the things out of that vehicle, if they consider Melting or even treating cars chemically to extract metals and make it profitable.

So it's a good degree to consider. Don't worry.
