Career advice - Petroleum

OK guys I am at a very interesting crossroads in my education.

I am very close to getting a B.S in Geology. I wanted to be a Petroleum Engineer, but I messed up a lot and ended up in Geology. Now I still want to be a Pet E, but I don't want to go back and take different engineering classes to be able to have it as my major. My university offers a minor in Pet E, so what I am thinking is to get my B.S in Geology with a minor in Pet E. I would only have to fulfill about 5 more classes to be able to achieve this minor.

Now here is the fun part. If I want to Master in Pet E I would need 5 pre-requisites classes to be able to enter the Pet E class with a B.S in Geology. Those 5 classes are the ones that I needed to fulfill my minor.

What I am trying to figure out is that if the master is even worth it? I am sure it would definitely boost my salary and would keep me moving in a forward direction with my education. Are there major companies that would hire a kid with a B.S in Geology and a Masters in Pet E?

Anybody in the industry thanks for the advice.
