ABSTRACT

People are living in one of the most exciting times in history, at the edge of the "new technical frontier", watching new worlds created at a microscale that was a sci-fi fantasy just a few short years ago. At no other time in history will the necessity of new job creation be as rapid as people will see in the next few years. In the United States alone, Mihall Roco projected that 0.08-0.09 million nanotechnology workers will be needed by 2015. World need secretaries, waste management experts, scientists, teachers, policemen, antiterror agents, politicians, policy writers, attorneys, insurance agents, patent people, doctors and nurses, educators, etc —all with a knowledge of nanotechnology, its power, and its dangers, to work in the new industrial age of nanotechnology. A nanotechnology career can include anything from design, fabrication, patent law, research, sales, testing, tech support, PR and marketing, public service, management, distribution, logistics, etc.
