You are shooting for a very rapidly moving target. Anything posted by anyone will be very out of date.

For example, until oil prices took a nose dive I would have said go into petrochemical engineering. Today, I would advise you to stay away from that field because they're not hiring.

Furthermore, even if some fields appear to be very stable and sedate, they can change practically overnight.

Do what you want to do. Your enthusiasm and drive will do more to build your job into a high paying position than anyone particular industry.

But if you really want to chase your tail...
