AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying science-related fields with significant entrepreneurial potential, highlighting computer science, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and materials engineering as strong contenders. Participants emphasize that while engineering degrees may provide practical advantages for entrepreneurship, the choice between an engineering or theoretical degree depends on individual goals. A BS and MS in engineering is often viewed as beneficial for those aiming for consultancy roles, as it combines technical skills with practical application. However, a BS in Physics followed by an MS in engineering can also be advantageous, particularly for those interested in specialized fields. Ultimately, success in entrepreneurship hinges on having a solid idea, determination, and business acumen, alongside potential venture funding.

What science related field do you think is the field with the most high-quality opportunities for entrepreneurship that could turn into huge companies? Do you think it is computer science, biotechnology, nanotechnology, materials engineering, etc?

Also, if someone wanted to eventually own some kind of consultancy or something, would you recommend some kind of engineering degree over a theoretical degree; like mechanical engineering over physics? Would it be better to have a BS and MS in [whatever] Engineering, or better to have a BS in Physics and then specialize with a MS in [whatever] Engineering?

You can't narrow it down and say you'll be better off doing electrical engineering or materials engineering if you want to become an entrepreneur. Albeit, it is probably wiser to choose something engineering/computer-science related if you're looking to break into that industry.

Really, all you need is the idea, drive, and passion for what you're trying to accomplish. That's really it. Oh, and maybe the venture funding afterwards. So, you got to be business savvy too :)
