This thread has certainly sparked some thoughts for me, since I will be done with a petroleum engineering degree a year and a half from now.

So besides working hard to ensure that my grades are good, do you guys have any other advice that would help prepare me for the possibility that the oil industry will still be in a slump by the time I graduate? Given what has been posted in this thread I have to consider the possibility so I'll have options if this is indeed what occurs.
