Materials Chemistry. Not truly engineering in a classical sense, but in practice, it is. Its true nano-engineering, and you do just about everything in it, from Computers to genetic.

Planning on getting a Ph.D in it.

Its really a graduate level offshoot of classical chemistry and mechanical engineering.

I suggest majoring in either, and take a lot of material science courses.

Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

Like I said, Nanotechnology is really just macroscopic chemistry/materials science created for a desired structure and form.

It actually has very little to do with classical electrical/ computer engineering and only included because the technology inherent in it is important to chip manufacturing, but the research is inherently not classically EE/CE.

None, all the fields have been overrun by curry breaths and china-men, and consequently its really hard nowadays to get an entry level job despite that not being the case only a few years earlier. Add in the huge size of our generation in college, and you'll realize that the odds are now against you getting a full-time job once your out of college unless you have at least a GPA > 3.4.

Our generations birthrate's has seriously fucked up my career planning after realizing that I have to be very competitive person in order to score even a mid-level job.

Consequently, people, I wouldn't suggest aiming for truly high powered jobs unless you are well aware that you can handle them, as they are extremely hard to get, either by limited access to schooling (medicine) or sheer number of applicants.

Face it, we are FUCKED, as a generation.

Theres some definite truth in that statement. My friends little brother is currently entering high school, and he was confused by the fact that he had to call one of his math teachers "Doctor". The fact is, Wall street jobs and professorships are ridiculously competitive nowadays, like the rest of the options, and a lot of Ph.D's have found themselves teaching calculus to seniors in high school.

You could major in materials and self-teach aerospace.

with this knowledge, you could make new nano shit dealing with rockets.

Unless you're at a shit-tier university you should have no problem getting an internship. guaranteed job if you don't fuck it up.

Chemical Engineering is definitely the most complete. You'll be the most versatile, have the highest paid degree coming out of college, and have half a million different options in deciding your future at that point.

>> No.3004109

>>3004067
Actually, I think what they are doing has more to do with them acquiring the skills needed to actually teach, rather than just perform research, which is what a lot of colleges are looking for, rather than them being uncompetitive applicants.
