Electronics in Future

If you are good at something, you will always be in demand.
Analog designers are born and not grown!
Digital design is kinda glamorous with more money and job openings in it.
As the institutes breed digital grads and as analog veterans(i can recall just one name) retire, analog is becoming something of a lost art.
As of today, the analog sector is just confined to pwer sector with making design that are more power efficient.
I am just too good at at analog design rather than digital but as digital is glamorous, I find only jobs in digital sector.Forcefully I have to divorce this analog field, so close to my heart, take up digital but I will never let the basic understanding of analog design depart from me.
Following 10 design skills wouldn’t be a bad hedge against future insecurity.
Skill #1: Analog Design

Skill #2: Radiation Hardening

This relatively obscure discipline is receiving greater attention as the government and military increasingly demand circuits that can withstand cosmic rays, solar radiation, atomic blast radiation, and related perils, both in space and on earth.

Skill #3: Programming C linux

Skill #4: RF: WiFi WiMax Bluetooth GSM CDMA

Skill #5: Optics:optical computing and other emerging photonics-based technologies.

Skill #6: Digital Signal Processing:DSP:understanding of DSP design and architecture, as well as knowledge in functional and structural RTL design, logic partitioning, logic simulation, and debug environments. Also helpful is an ability to be proficient in high-speed and/or low-power logic design as well as an ability to work with logic synthesis, static timing analysis, and high-speed processor implementation concepts

kill #7: Emerging Power Technologies: cutting-edge power technologies such as solar energy, fuel cells, and next-generation batteries can be a big career advantage in a world that’s becoming increasingly “green.”
Skill #8: Quantum Physics:quantum principles are gradually beginning to gain commercial potential in fields such as network security and optoelectronics.data storage and transmission.
Skill #9: Nanotechnology: healthcare, information technology, manufacturing, and defense.
