Thank you for opening my first thread.

I have just began studying Physics at a university in Hungary and would like to get some information about Network Science and Plasma Phyics/Nuclear Fusion. I am looking for a branche in Physics in which I can do research in the coming years and get a job after my studies.
So I kindly ask you which branch could you advise me and why? What are the main differences between them (the methods you have to use, the jobs you can get, the future prospects, etc.)?

On the one hand, I like Modern Physics and have a few friends who do research in Plasma Physics. I find their carreer path suitable to follow, but they have limited options when choosing a job.
On the other hand, I think that Network Science is more "universal" and can help me work with a lot of different problems.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
