Hi Ali! I do not belong to one of the fields you liked but I belong to a field related to those. I'm 23 years old and I am an Electronics Engineer. I chose this field because I am fascinated by the world of electronics and I wanted challenging courses. The field of Engineer is a broad one but I have no difficulties in choosing my career path. My parents also guide me in making the right decision. Right now I am working for NEC Japan. Working in the field of technology makes good money. Technology is vast changing so I am always updated with the latest gadgets and technology my company makes. Just feel your passion and you'll never regret your choice. Happy mylotting!

I got a chance to have trainings at different Electronic companies here when I was still studying. I've been working for more than two years now. I got hired immediately after I graduated. I definitely love my job but I still have a long way to go.

i think you must go for a computers because it is a great field and you may get lot of opportunities to develop yourself and nobody in this world live without computers or lap or notebook

I think you should choose something that interest you most. I see that you are more interested in scientific related career. My son was also keen on science subjects when he was still studying and he ended up taking geo-physics in U. Now he is attached to the oil and gas industry with a very challenging career that brings him all over the places and is earning good money as this industry is small but the prospects of career advancement is wide.

hi moneydoner I think you do know the answer really as you said you like computer forensics,nano technology and robotic engineering and it sounds like you love science so pursue those as young people can still get jobs in those super technical fields, the older ones are having a harder time but with a degree you should have it made. I am retired but my son wishes he had taken some of the same courses as he' is an out of work computer programmer and they are still on this youth kick, so so far he has not got hired again as he is fifty with years of experience so he should be a shoo in but youth always preceeds, I hope you follow your heart and take what you really want to take as your passion for this will get you hired if you have the good education.

Hi all the three fields you have mentioned are very good fields, and can get you a very well paid hjobs if you do good in your study, and work seriously during job. However all the three are highly specialised area. so its better to choose the one tyhat interests you most.

sounds very good. also, there is the telecommunications of phones. my late husband did that. he made very good money just working on phone services and my friends son has become a millionaire with the cell phone business in itself. of course your original plan about computers could be good also. but my hubby said there were so many more into computer service that there was not as big a need for them. in other words, more compition.

i don't think it is ideal to tell anyone the kind of career he or she should go for, it will be better for you to do what you know how to do best, it looks like the job market is getting stiffer and more competitive these days, so it will be ideal if you can use your experience and skills in getting what you want, education is very important

i am not from any of these fields....i am giving entrance exams for biotechnology...now as you have mentioned that you like robotics and nanotechnology go with the one which you like most both have real great future prospects...if i wud have been in such a situation i wud have taken nanotechnology(i m more interested towards it also its going to develop at a great rate in future) so go with what you feel is bst but surely nanotechnology will be a better choice according to me....
