I am curious as to what fields within the physics realm are going to be growing in the coming years. I am very interested in elementary particle physics but it seems to be a huge field with a lot of people already engaged in a wide variety of research under this topic. I also have an interest in nuclear and subatomic physics and was wondering which fields look like they will have a lot of opportunities in the near future.
