CVX needs to stop favoring a petroleum engineering degree from Tulsa/A&M over any other random graduate from an Ivy. No offense to those two schools but caliber is more important than degree conferred.

I don't see any other threads with that content. Care to point it out, @6ior? No?
OK we get it, you are actually the only troll on this board.
The OP keeps posting this poison on multiple threads. It's created in order to illicit an emotional response and troll the users.
This is the first time he/she posted it as a separate thread. I hope mods realize this, track him/her down, block the IP and take out all posts entered.
No, but we are positive that you are a troll: @6crv.
You folks do understand the OP is a troll?
Pretensions much? Just because someone made it into an ivy league school (wealth, influence perhaps) DOES NOT mean they are quality individuals.
I would take a humble knowledgeable person over a pretension prick any day. At the end of the day, majority of universities teach the same ciriculum and the vast majority of understanding of the industry is taught in the job.
"over a random graduate from an Ivy"??????????????? Uhhh..... No. . Just No.
I despise the A&M dorks as well as anyone, and Pet E. has long run it's course compared to the more versatile ME, EE, CE, etc. curriculums but not from and Ivy league school. We need intelligent workers, not stuffed shirts, my little naice millennial fella. Try again. And Think this time.
Stop favoring a petroleum engineering degree at all. I would take Chemical, Mechanical, or Electrical engineering over Petroleum any day.
We are hiring diverse people from Tuskegee. They don’t care about quality, do you check the box.
I went to a low cost public eng. school and became a manager over folks that graduated from all the big name schools in the country that included the Ivy’s. The name of the school on my diploma did not matter once I got into the workplace but how I performed over the years. But, you have to first get hired so you need a high GPA, internship (being related to a current employee helps get that), being at schools Chevron sends recruiters to and some luck. Chevron does recruit more from certain schools than others which the OP noticed.
Ivy League schools don't have petroleum engineers.
“Caliber is more important...”, which is exactly why A&M / Tulsa graduates are preferred.
Lots of dead wood in the Ivy Leagues like everywhere else. Although I agree better talent is commonly overlooked in recruiting at other schools (including some of the big state schools), the “oil” schools get more bits all around because those attending have already shown an interest in this industry.
The assumption that top-tier graduates comes only from Ivy league schools is ridiculous. One should not consider what school one graduated from in laying off events.
Is this a joke...TAM and Tulsa compared to Ivys? IVYs dont come to Chevron because the employees are jealous of their intellect. Plus they are considerably more liberal.
Why would a top-tier graduate from an Ivy League would like to join CVX anyway?
Nothing wrong with TAMU or Tulsa. The real problem is that Chevron doesn’t get the top-tier graduates, instead getting relatives of existing employees, and those whose only career goal is to become a paper-pushing manager.
