Is Non-equilibrium statistical physics and complex systems a good area of study to go into? Is it a well respected field?

Thank you

I know a few people who completed their doctoral degrees in non-equilibrium statistical physics along with their thesis advisors. Ilya Prigogine won the nobel prize in Chemistry, or maybe it was physics, in this area. I would suggest it is a well respected field. A lot depends on your thesis advisor. Why would yout think it is not a good area or not so well respected?
