Which engineering stream is best?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around choosing between three engineering streams: BioTechnology, Instrumentation and Control, and Information Technology. BioTechnology is appealing for its potential in genetic manipulation and cloning, but it involves extensive memorization of scientific terminology. Instrumentation and Control attracts interest due to its focus on Robotics and AI, but may involve tedious factory work. Information Technology is currently popular, especially in information security, but faces concerns about future job stability due to market fluctuations. Ultimately, the decision hinges on balancing personal interests with future industry demand.

I am going to pursue Engineering at graduation level. But I'm confused about which type of engineering is best. I have three options:

1) BioTechnology
2) Instrumentation and control
3) Information Technology

All are equally interesting to me. Please help me decide which one has the best future prospects and which one will be in demand 4-5 years from now? Which one should I choose? :confused:

Likes:
1)I like BioTech becaude it teaches you How to manipulate with building blocks of life i.e. DNA. More Imp It will possibly teach me basics of cloning. ah! Also Biotech is now at a position where IT was in mid 90's.
2)I like Instrumentation & Control coz it includes Robotics & AI (my fav subject) and also teaches BioMedical (fastest growing stream)
3)I like Information Technology coz all the current hype is associated with it. Moreover, it would teach me Information security(most promising).

Dislikes:

1)BioTechnology would require cramming up all the scientific names of creatures, plant names, cell components & the stuff like that which I hate.
2)Instrumentation & Control will require me to work in factories/labs reading all those dumb process signals & recording them
3)IT: as you all know current downfall is troubling its future prospects.
