My advice to you is switch to a trade that is Electrical Engineering related.

Engineering jobs, design jobs, are going to disappear. If you can, beg, borrow , and steal to work for a POWER COMPANY, the people who you pay your electric bill to. They will always have work...until they learn touse a transporter to move electrons to yur house anyways...

Do you have any idea what the going rate for a licensed electrician is these days? For heaven's sake, those guys don't even need any customer service skills at all -- they can ignore 90% of the phone calls they get, and still make money hand over fist!

I am too ambitious to become an electrician. However, I am trying to make my technical education as broad as possible. I find quantum computing, photonics, and nanotech interesting, and hope to make an impact in one of them. If I do, I will never ship off my IP to a third-world country - I mean, whats Intel going to do when China "nationalizes" their fabs?
