Technology Sectors that are Hot or Heating Up Now?

Posted by Cliff on Saturday June 15, 2002 @07:02AM from the searching-for-that-next-career dept.

unemployedCoder-in-retraining asks: "As a recently "leisured" programmer, I'm very interested in trying to turn misfortune into opportunity. This means using this career discontinuity to bone up on the latest-n-greatest in the hot sectors of the industry, to offer a better chance of a finding another great job. Of course, then one asks: 'What's Hot?' The Telco/Switching sector seems to have flatlined (Nortel and Lucent as examples). Cable and DSL access device and service development seems to be struggling. Wireless 3G networks seem to be having a hard time in North America. And yet, we here that a recovery is underway and that the technology sector as a whole is picking up again. So I ask you: 'Where?' In what sectors? What are the most important new technologies to learn to enhance employability? Somewhere, somebody is hiring or will be soon. What do I and other victims of the slowdown have to know to 'get back in the saddle' in the near future?"

And they are always the first ones to adopt new tech...

...especially if it vibrates.

Copy protection seems to be a growth industry at the moment.

My grandfather once told me:

"Be an undertaker, kid. No matter how bad things get, you will always have customers."
