I don't actually know what field will be extraordinary and which will be simply respectable. However, I can understand AI and robotics, and from what I've seen, there isn't extraordinary work being done (please feel free to prove otherwise). There are only incremental advances being made that improve our lives by small steps.
What I can't understand is biology; it is unimaginably complex, which is why is why now I'm kind of wishing I had majored in it rather than computer science.
