I am a student currently studying nanotechnology engineering and I have started to become concerned as to what I am actually going to do with my degree. As odd as this may sound I would like to become a licensed engineer and based on my past work experience can't really see myself being an academic.
My dilemma is which field of nanotechnology I should be involved in. I am currently considering between working in nano-materials or in electronics(transistors). I am worried that I will not be able to compete with electrical engineers or those who studied materials science in these fields. I am also worried that these fields will not grow as anticipated and leave me with a totally unrelated job.
I was hoping maybe somebody here could provide some insight or advice. In terms of my own interest it is about 50 50 which is why I am having trouble deciding. If you want more information on what exactly I'm actually studying you can go to my course web page:
