Hello,
Grad school is still a few (3) years off, but its good to have plans in mind so I thought I would ask:
Has anyone information on the industry prospects of nanotechnology specializations? Previous posts indicate that condensed matter / solid state physics are some of the more common industrial fields - are these similar to, overlapping with, nanotech? (excuse my naivete).
My university offers graduate program titled, "Nanotechnology, materials and energy," which sounds like a dead-ringer for a marketable degree, so I add this joiner question: Should I beware of masters degrees that sound *too general*, for fear of watering down the skill set I end up with? Or is it more about selling yourself and learning things on the job? I see myself quite likely entering industry after a masters, so this is somewhat of a concern.
Thanks for the replies,
