At the beginning of the first semester at Nazarbayu University as a foundation year, I was thinking about which major, which path I should choose to continue my study at Nazarbayu University. And one of the best choices for me was computer science major. On that days, I thought that this major can suit my interests. Also, because of the job opportunities that will be given for the alumni of this major, for example working in the big companies like Google, Samsung, Yandex, increased my desire to choose this major. On top of that, my friends also were choosing this major as a first choice and they persuaded me to choose also computer science. However, on one of the days I was attended to lecture with a dean of school of mining and gas science. On that lecture I got some information about this school with well-sported reasons to choose these majors in this school especially for petroleum engineering. During that lecture, my curiosity about Petron Engineering increased from 0 to 100%. I was really thinking about which major I should choose, should I choose Petron Engineering rather than Computer Science. During the Q&A session, I got really neat information, essential information for me because the capital size major has a big competitiveness. Even after graduating from them with a good GPA, you need time to find a job because right Right now our country is still developing, we don’t have really good companies to fit in the alumni, graduating alumni. And also the pros for petroleum engineering, they are crucial for managing oil and gas resources that are really essential for development of economic stability of country. So that’s why my plan changed to Petroleum Engineering.
