Hi,
I really need your advice on a serious career issue, or i will go down with nervous breakdown.
So please advise me on my problemand save me.
i am currently in a web project that involves ejb on the middle tier, and all the jing bang lot of rmi, servlets , xml, jsp etc also thrown in.
Now the choice with me is that either
(1) i concentrate on these lines and choose them as my career path ( that is the easier path) . Taking this path , there are currently a lot of jobs availible all around currently for very good money. The problem i see with these lines is that they dont really require engineering skills. - that is unlike networking , compilers etc , they are not engineers domain.(at least servlets, jsp, core java are not) Most projects on these technologies are also not very big - budgeted , so some companies are begining to take cheaper skilled labour at lower price ( that is niitians on contract for something like 5-6 housand rupees- or just 120 dollars a month). So i feel engineers working on these web skills will also not get those super salaries that they are currently getting because of the law of demand and supply).
In a nutshell i feel pros are that there are lots , lots of good jobs in the market for these, and i can easily get a decent switch
cons are : it looks like a bubble . And i always get the feeling that a guy from comscience background deserves better than this.
(2)or i go the more difficult way, and study 3-4 moths those things like wap, networking concepts, os etc, do pseudo projects.
And be prepared to join even as a fresher after all that self training and doing pseudo projects. This path is faced with real difficuly, that is i there are no clear current avenues.
Pros: if i am able to get into networking projects i will feel that i belong here. I will be happiest in networking.
Cons : dont heve a plan of execution .
(3) Try to find a middle path, that is try to go into wap , jtapi from ejb , corba etc.
but here again path is not very clear
i really need guidance on it
please help me out.
luv,
pankaj
