I'm contemplating on what science field to go into. I'm thinking perhaps engineering especially electrical or perhaps material (nanotechnology).

Any one already studying this stuff or maybe even an electrical engineer care to respond?

I can understand your dilemma in choosing a specific field in science. Both electrical engineering and material science (specifically nanotechnology) are fascinating and rapidly advancing areas of study. My advice would be to explore both fields further by researching the current developments, job opportunities, and potential for growth in each area. Additionally, consider your personal interests and strengths to determine which field aligns best with your goals and passions. Speaking with professionals in both fields, such as electrical engineers or material scientists, can also provide valuable insights and advice. Ultimately, the most important factor in choosing a field is finding one that you are passionate about and will enjoy studying and working in for years to come. Best of luck in your decision-making process.
