Petroleum Engineering Applicant Just Really Passionate About Drills

On Monday, general engineering major Josh Andrews claimed in his  advisor meeting  that his top choice for engineering majors is petroleum engineering because he has always been passionate about big drills.

“Ever since I was a toddler, I’ve loved drills: LEGO drills, power drills, fire drills, blast hole drills, drill music. If it’s a drill, I am there,” Andrews said.

Andrews asserted that his interest in petroleum engineering had nothing to do with the lucrative career afforded to him after he graduated. It was all about the “beauty of the engineering process.” He went so far as to say that he would do “[petroleum engineering] for free” if it meant he got to work with electro-drilling systems.

In addition, Andrews allegedly declared he is an “environmental advocate” and that climate change is “a very important issue” for him. Andrews said his application essay was going to center around his “desire to make a positive change in the oil and gas industry”. The advisor, who has requested to remain anonymous, told The Mugdown that Andrews did not even burst out laughing after he said all this.

Despite these claims by Andrews, his advisor expertly read between the lines and wrote simply “doing it for the money” in the meeting notes.
