Is nanotechnology a meme? Am I just going to waste 4 years of

Nanotechnology is not a meme, however, a nanotechnology degree is a meme.

Pretty much all the stuff you'd expect out of your japanese animes is not being done under the name of nanotech, and in fact is being done under the name of chemistry.

Or in the name of junk-science.

Nanotech is the future

Pure chemistry or chem eng? I've been considering pure chemistry too, but chem eng looks boring desu

Yank - yank - yank - yank

Chem eng is glorified plumbing

>>8801632
pretty much any job is a glorified shit tier job if you get right down to it

Do you even understand what you're talking about?

ChE is LITERALLY plumbing, industrial plumbing.

>>8801881
no I just talk without thinking

Listen here hombre, you have to ask yourself what you want to do, not what /sci/ wants you to do, or your parents, or your lecturers.

What do YOU WANT to do for YOURSELF, gringo?

Words that literally kill

Is 'is X a meme?' a meme?

Look at how your own body works and tell me. You're made of tiny machinery that makes up larger machinery that make up big machines, that make up you as a macro machine. You yourself are simply a part of a greater system, a machine.

Everything is a state machine. Everything is controlled by signals. Scale is arbitrary. As above, so below.

I'd strongly suggest looking at Molecular biology or Material science. It's mostly chemistry at a really small scale. An actual field dedicated to nanotech doesn't exist but there are modern fields that will give you the tools for that. If you're interested in reading more, read this:

There are very few "traditional" ChemE jobs nowadays, so industrial plumbing probably isn't a good way to describe it anymore.
