I want to work with robots, AI, virtual reality and human augmentations and enhancements, what should I study?
I am a Senior in High School and I have current opted for Computer Science and Computer Engineering. I may go into either one. I realize that my area of interest is quite broad, and Comp Sci/Engin. wont cover everything. I might have to do a double major in Biotechnology. I have also very interested in Nanotechnology, and I think i will do a masters in it, but this comes later on. What should I study in Undergraduate? I feel like there might be an area of specialization that i may not know about. Biomedical science sounds way too specific and it seems that it does not have too many job prospects. I am all over the place, please give me some suggestions.
Thank you!
Btw, I love computers!!
Please pardon my typos as i wrote this in a rush

Maybe specialize in one engineering (like electrical engineering or computer engineering if offered). Then take your electives in the subjects you like. You kind of got to specialize a little in engineering school because you will get overwhelmed if you take on too much then you end up dropping out all together.
Pick one major.... see if you get into it, and if you don't then switch majors if you have to, realizing it will take more money and time to graduate if you do.
The engineering field is so broad and useful, that in most companies you end up being 5 different kind of engineers from what you did in school and got hired in for. You might hire in as a mechanical engineer, and depending on the products the company makes, you'll be a IT and software engineer, a structural engineer, a electrical...chemical...anything.
Because to build something usually takes several disciplines of knowledge to get it built. A biomedical engineer knows biology, but then needs to learn circuits...then hydraulics, then chemistry, then programming...you get my drift?
