I have been accepted to MSE Nanotechnology program at Upenn. I have admits for MS Mechanical from a few universities, but they are not as prestigious as Upenn. I talked to a senior and he said jobs are not that easy to find after an MSE and most of the students are planning to do a PhD. I am really confused as to what I should do. Should I accept this admit and hope that things change in two years time? or should I go for a safer MS Mech program at a supposed lesser university? Are nano-technologists in demand? I am not just talking about USA, do I have a chance abroad, say Europe or Asia ( India)? I am really confused, as an international student I dont want to spend a lot on my MSE and then end up jobless. On the other hand this is once in a lifetime opportunity for me to study at a good school. I would really appreciate your help guys. Please help me out.

Thank you so much friends I am waiting and hoping I get accepted to Michigan Ann Arbor..if I am not accepted then I will take this up

Hello emmm I am not sure of the job prospects after the Master's degree. I have a Mechanical background and I presume most of the applicants might have a Biotech-Chem-Electrical background with research exp and work ex. Pitting my wits against these guys is a daunting prospect. I am 100% sure this course is for me.

Are did you apply to the same program?? I hope you get accepted...

Hello...this is my first post here. I am a final year Mechanical engineering student from India, and I got accepted to Masters in Nanotechnology program at Upenn. I am very excited but at the same time I am not completely sure about the course. Other students accepted to Upenn please respond here
