Best Business Schools Hiring:
Energy Industry
Of those MBAs accepting a job within three months of graduation, 345 from 82 business schools went to work in the energy industry. For every dollar spent in conventional oil and gas today, nearly double that is spent in renewable energy solutions. Most Western integrated energy companies forecast hydrocarbons entering a production decline in the near-term, with peak global oil demand likely reached at some point next decade. Gas will continue to play a key role in the global energy mix, given its necessity helping offset the intermittency of renewables. But the future of energy in the coming decades will clearly be centered around renewable power, dominated by solar (plus batteries) and to a lesser extent wind.
