There is nothing at all shady or underhanded about what exxonmobil is doing. It is called investing in one's own future.

I posted that earlier in this thread talking about how XOM is trying ot encourage students to go into scientific engineering fields so XOM would have a larger potential hiring base. that concept was scoffed at by some of you.
I knew for a fact it was going on because i see it every day. I've traveled to college campus' to try and recruit.
Now this article comes along, worth reading:

Oil and Gas Firms Try to 'Speed Up' Recruiting, Hiring to Fill Thousands of Engineering Jobs
HOUSTON (AP) -- On your mark! Get set! ... "Have you ever searched for oil under the ocean floor, or helped create products to improve fuels and lubricants? Hurry now, the clock's ticking."
Not your typical job interview, but several oil and gas companies are resorting to unusual hiring techniques they hope will succeed where traditional recruiting has failed to fill thousands of vacant engineering positions.
Industry officials and analysts say it's nearly impossible to quantify the shortage, but the Internet is full of openings at ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp., Valero Energy Corp. and a host of other companies.
