<p>I've seen some nanotechnology in some games (xenogears) and I'm interested in it. Is nanotechnology actually a field with a potential to make a high salary?</p>
<p>And what field of engineering would be best if you want to go into nanotechnology?</p>
<p>I'm also thinking of nanotechnology as well, but I doubht it will be a hot field until maybe like 20 years. I would say Materials engineering as the best for nano, and of course also pure chemistry, and physics.</p>
<p>I don't know much about nanotechnology aside from games but I think nanotechnology is the future and it has alot of potential. You could build the strongest weapons using nanotech, change genetics, and perhaps destroy the world...</p>
<p>materials science/electrical engineering/solid state physics</p>
<p>quit reading michael crichton. OT: His books are quite ironic. He tells a story about how nanotechnology can ruin the world and denies global warming and its consequential harm.</p>
<p>u don't know much about nanotech, but u think.... ok, not much said there.</p>
<p>Would there be a chance to work on nanotech by majoring in EE? And I have played several games with nanotech in it so I know some of it but not much.</p>
<p>for some reason, i get the feeling Zerox is laughing at our reponses to his posts.</p>
<p>I just want to make sure nanotech is a lucrative field before I commit myself 110% to it. I'm highly motivated by the money.</p>
<p>im not sure you are if you're college major is based on the video games you play.</p>
<p>Haha, these posts are kind of funny. Anyway, nanotechnology is anything on the 10^-9 scale, so just about engineering discipline has an application in nanotech. It depends on what you want to do with nanotechnology. It's kind of like saying you want to be a chemist-what KIND of chemist is key</p>
<p>"im not sure you are if you're college major is based on the video games you play."</p>
<p>Hmmm..... Maybe I should become a plumber! Super Mario was sooo cool!</p>
<p>ooo...a xenogears fan...my fav. game (hence my name)..anyway for nano it's probably electrical engineering</p>
<p>also, rather than learning from games do some research on your own before you decide to pursue it...heres a start:</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology</a></p>
<p>Yeah I think I'll do electrical engineering. Would you be garanteed a job in nanotech if you do EE?</p>
<p>one last thing i just wanted to say: i will never respond to threads started by zerox again.</p>
<p>ha ha, that's gonna be hard, jeffl, since he starts half of the threads in this forum... lol.</p>
<p>Actually I'm still deciding between designing game consoles (PS2, Xbox) or going into nanotech. After majoring in undergrad engineering, I think I'd want to go into Investment banking. Than MBA.</p>
<p>What specialty would fit this path?</p>
