Perplexed about how to get involved in nanotechnology, Underprepared writes "As an Idea for the coming years a Career Search Program would be of help to many people such as myself, Who have an interest in Nanotechnology but no real objective or goal for it. Especially due to the overwhelming interest there will be in the next few years." Underprepared writes:
I am in Electronics Engineering at the Technologist level. I have read a lot about nanotechnology such as (NNI 2003 Budget). I know of the dramatic impact it will have, changing almost every aspect of the way we live over the next few hundred years. I see many dilemmas that will arise because of the speed at which the technology is growing. I have found far more than a wealth of information related to this topic, on this site alone. It excites me but drains me at the same time. I cannot spend my life reading about it anymore, I read at too slow of a pace. It is a waste of my time because there is just too much information. (Though I continue reading)
I have recently encountered a problem. For a long time I wanted to enter into the field of nanotechnology. The only courses I saw were available at the masters level. So I have and am still attempting to attain this. However, my marks are not where I want them to be and it seems I cannot continue my education. (Though I will still try)
I want to get involved but I am lost. I see that I am far ahead of most people. Just knowing about Nanotechnology sets us apart from the general population. From my experience most people do not know about it.
So my question. What can I do?? I have some of the knowledge of the field and I have skills in electronics.
Someone to talk with would be nice, I use MSN Messenger if you would like to chat.
