Especially in the state of Texas. The plan for me is to finish my undergrad here at UCSD (I'm a physics major) and go to grad school. The oil & gas industry will remain strong for a long time, right ? I believe geophysicists are in high demand . One of my physics professor told it's one of the sub-fields in physics that pay very well, and I'm aiming for a masters.

Anyways, thanks.
