Been there, done that
Almost thirty years ago, when the oil was in short supply due to the conflict with Iran, chemical engineering students were focussed on petroleum engineering because that's where the jobs and higher salaries were. During the 4 years that it took to get the degree, everything changed and oil companies were rescinding job offers made to graduating students, causing many of us to switch fields. It taught me that it is never a good idea to pursue a career by what the media points to as being"hot" in the moment. I never put to use any of the petroleum engineering training I got from a prestigious engineering school. The same thing happened with solar and wind energy too. Better to pursue a career in something you like to do than what the media says is "hot!"

All those things you learned in the petroleum engineering training will now be beneficial. There has been a new development in the liquification of natural gas, LNG, gogle TASHE-OPTR to read about it. In Brazil, where Praxair has developed the process, and ALL their vehicles don't run on petrochemical fuels, they use this to produce LNG to deliver by truck to areas without a pipeline service. Since pipelines are a big regulatory deal in the US, it is likely this process will continue to catch on as fuel costs drive vehicle fleets to convert to LNG power. First test case was in WV. While there are already over 1000 LNG refueling stations along interstate highways now, thousands need to be built - sound like jobs? One company has planned to build 150 in the Central Atlantic area by end of 2012. Fracking has made NG so plentiful, that it has instantly become the probable savior of the US energy independence from oil.
I'm working to get the new nuclear workers trained up for the two first plant to be built in US, you do your part and take on bringing the energy industry up to date.
Plenty of work there!
