<DIV>I have a doctorate in the social sciences with little background in the natural sciences. However, I am dissatisfied with the "soft" sciences and am finding an interest in the new medical technologies. So I am contemplating a career change either to tissue engineering or nanotechnology. I am looking for advice from anyone who is familiar with the future of these careers or who may already be working in those fields. Since I am middle aged I would want to pick a program that I could complete in as little time as possible. Any advice would be appreciated. </DIV>
