    Photonics Engineering

    That's the thing, I'm not sure if there really is a shortage. A lot of articles say there are shortages in nursing, but if you ask nurses themselves, most will tell you there is definitely not a shortage. I'm not hellbent on photonics engineering, but it is one of my top choices. I just don't...

    Thanks for the response Mike. That doesn't sound too encouraging. I was planning on getting a masters, but a PhD is just too much school for me. Here's an article I found that gives a general perspective on photonics engineering. Not sure how accurate the source is however...

    Photonics Engineering

    I am considering going into photonics engineering. It looks very interesting to me (fiber optics and lasers), and it seems like a nice niche field that is experiencing growth. I've done some research on it, but I wanted to see if there were any photonic engineers here that could give me any...
