Hello again PF community.
Id like to hear your thoughts regarding the future of engineering fields and where you think we will be in 5, 10, 15 years from now. As an engineering major I don't really know which i'd like to do - Civil Engineering would seem useful if I wanted to build my own house someday, Mechanical if I wanted to build myself an airplane or a car, Chemical if I wanted to feed the hungry children and give them cheap medicine in third world countries, and so on.
What do you think the trends are pertaining to the career growth in either of those fields? How secure would today's engineering students be as far as their jobs are concerned and what are the new possible emerging fields? If there were new emerging opportunies it would make sense to start preparing for them while the mind is still young?
Any advise would be appreciated
