[quote=Anonymous]Most folks on these boards seem to be lawyers or lobbyists, I fear engineers are few and far between.

I would look at medical potentially as there is a lot of opportunity to low hanging fruit since most medical records and systems seem stuck in the past.

By cyber? I think you mean cyber security? I think this is less marketable outside of DOD/NSA and other TLA security agencies.  Sure other agencies and companies all pay lip service to security but never a growth industry.  Now with china and all there may be real work to be done, if w tak it seriously.  But with sequester thrashing DOD budgets its kinds and unknown.

With medical tech, it often blooms most when cost cutting is most Cervantes because it is seen as boosting efficiency and reducing errors.

And I think we are similar age (late 30s) and I am in a more junior position as I have no team to manage, but when I hear cyber I think of early 90s information superhighway and the like.  I think this is especially true in Silicon Valley where ageism is the more entrenched, so portability is an issue. [/quote]
