I'm planning on specialising in intellectual property law with an emphasis on IT and you're the only person I could bear to network with! Therefore you should specialise in technology.
Over the course of your career I imagine technology and telecoms will drift pretty close together anyway so it's largely a matter of whether "technically strenuous" is something you look for in your work !
Some futurists reckon that life sciences and technology will drift pretty close together over time in exactly the same way. Of course, believing a futurist is always playing a lottery.
The reason for the convergence of telecoms and tech is simply that it's becoming increasingly hard to make money on pure telecoms. As the telecoms giants search for ways to turn a decent profit they're tending to drift into tech activities.
This requires less of a crystal ball since it's happening now. Kinda like predicting a thunderstorm when standing under a huge black cloud and you feel raindrops !

Please note that posting a poll on this in Livejournal is likely to have a heavy technological bias, for which you should discount. Sort of like going into a Catholic church and asking, "Who believes in the Holy Trinity, then, huh?" :) Not representative of society at large.

Sort of. From a psephological perspective, it would be as important to analyze the contribution of those who didn't vote as those who did--that the problem with self-selecting samples. And those, for obvious reasons, don't get recorded.

Which is of course why the Australians shoot people who don't vote -the only statistically satisfactory way to account for their possible opinions is to entirely remove them from the electorate.
Well OK, so maybe they don't shoot them. But they're probably thinking about it.
