It gives you an edge because you end up with a strong physical science background to complement your technical background.

Right now I'm rotating through lab that deals with auditory processing in rabbits. I'm dealing more with filters and MATLAB than the physiological stuff but its all good.

I'd like to get into Nanotech for medical purposes... I gotta look into this field again

h: Electrical Engineering is too repetitive...

Nano anything is repetitive.

Every new nano idea, say a new material, is really an old material with a new twist. Or, its something someone wants to re-look at and thinks they can make better.

But the health industry is guaranteed job security.

Yea, I'd want to do something in the medical field that relates to engineering... but a lot of the stuf is just the same thing re-engineered smaller/faster/stronger/etc... :/ I want to work on something new

Thinking about going back for either Criminal Justice (become a police officer/detective) or RN (yeah yeah...it's generally a chicks field, but that is a field that is NOT going away)
