I'm starting my junior year in the fall, and I'm starting to think about what I really want to do with my physics degree once I earn it. To me, it seems like alternative energy is a good direction to go, because it's a very real problem in the modern world and I feel like there's going to be a lot of money there one day soon.
I know "alternative energy" can describe a huge range of subjects, but what I'm interested in is doing physics for practical real-world application, as opposed to fundamental research like astro-physics or particle physics. (please don't get caught up in what is and isn't practical...)
Any thoughts about this? Any areas in alternative energies that look promising? Nuclear? Solar? I want to start taking courses that may apply to these areas, if this is the direction I'm going to go...
