IT had the biggest demand in late 90s. That demand seem to have faded with the .com bombs. In todays' market what seems to be the field of study that has equal potential of the IT market of late 90s or at least close to it? Please advise! It would help me decide my major. (Don't worry about my interest; fishing ain't taking me anywhere).

Biotechnology is indeed a hot field. You could also go for Health Informatics, where you can easily earn $100,000+, with a PhD degree. Nanotechnology(which I'm gonna go for, but I'm still in high school) is also a hot field.

Dunno much about engineering, but C. Sc will be in demand for a long time, here in the good ol' US of A. America is really short of manpower when it comes to C.S. But then again, didn't they deport 40,000 Indians(C Scientists) a yr ago?

Information Technology still has some opportunities. Specialized sectors are getting bigger rewards. However, experience is a must in todays' market. Just learning Java, C++, C#, D flat and crap does not help that much these days. One other area that may be beneficial is Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relations Management, Supply Chain Management etc. You just have to follow the industry buzz...

Hello,
Biomedical engineering, Bioinformatics, or Biotechnology are going to be the best fields in US job markets within couple of years.Biotechnology with the specialization in pharmacology or genomic medicine and medical engineering with the specialisation in tissue and neural engineering and Imaging are the Hottest fields to go for now. According to Department of Labor these fields are growing faster than average. The median salary for these jobs are 67k with a B.S. degree with some experience. If you have ability to do it, then think about wireless engineering, 245k/year with bachelor's degree starting salary, how does this sound to you Mr. Opportunist? But you need to be a US Citizen to get the job in Wireless Engineering.......think about it.

aviyentaji,
no, i am not kidding. the fields that i mentioned are the most diverse and most sought after these days. An IR or Anthropology student can use his/her theoretical knowledge in almost anything. Employers now wnat employees who can think, not just do programming. That's why, as i already mentioned in another thread, Harvey Mudd college makes its students take liberal arts classes ranging from latin to linguistic, from creative writing to seniior seminar in anthropology.
Technical studies makes one perfect in one particular field, but other luiberal arts classes make students all-rounders. And the businesses now want that. The CEO of IBM isn't someone who studies computer science.
And I remember this from the commencement speech given by Martin Luther's daughter for the graduating class of 1997:
If you can't be the sun, be a star
If you can't be the highway, then be a trail
But be the best in whatever you are
So, if you are best in your chosen field, then no matter where you end up, you'll make a good living.
My views.

Trailokya is right.
I know a lot of people who did their joint majors in Economics and Anthropolgy and the likes and are making close to 200K in that field. Granted, they are probably good at what they do as well.
