Some travel more unconventional paths to get here. Paul Barth ’17 of Las Vegas, Nevada did not take the common path to becoming an Aggie. But in May of 2017, he walked away with his degree, Aggie Ring, and a job with one of the largest companies in the world. Prior to landing in Aggieland, Paul spent 4 years in the United States Air Force as a geospatial intelligence analyst – and that is where his journey to Texas A&M began. In the Air Force, Paul analyzed drone video feed and satellite imagery. “That’s what got me interested in GIS (Geographic Information Science),” he explained.

“I didn’t know what GIS was prior to that. I really loved my job in the Air Force.” Paul knew he wanted to work in the oil & gas industry, and that played a major role in drawing him to Texas A&M. “The GIS program (at Texas A&M) looked great – and it’s close to Houston, where oil & gas is centered. I knew that would be a great opportunity for me,” he said. But Paul did not make the move on his own. He also has a wife and two kids, which meant Paul had to balance his time even more than the typical Aggie student. “It’s definitely doable,” he added. “My advice for people with families who are starting out as Aggies is to make sure you keep some time just for them.” Having a family also meant Paul needed to support them, in addition to keeping up with his degree program. “One thing that really helped me, since I had to work to support my family, was getting a job on campus working for a professor in the Chevron Basin Modeling Center with the College of Geosciences Berg-Hughes Center – doing something related to my degree.
