Hello…this is my first post here, so please pardon me if it does not abide by the forum rules.
I am a Mechanical engineer and I have secured admission to MSE Nanotechnology at Upenn. Now, I like the course but I am not sure regarding the job prospects after my graduate degree. I have applied to other courses in other universities as well, but none of them are as big as Upenn, the closest being MS Industrial at Purdue ( which I am not very hopeful about). I have a few queries regarding my admit, I hope seniors can help :


How good is a degree from Upenn? Does it make it easier to get a job?
What is the scope of Nanotech program in general?
Once at Penn can I change my majors to say MSE Mechanical or MSE Material Science?


Any help will be greatly appreciated
