Hi
I need a bit of advice on what career path I should follow. I have recently finished universtiy and am quite good a DSP, C, C++, Java and C#.
At this point I relise I cannot persue all these paths and would would like advice from current engineers on what would be the best most rewarding career to follow (and one that has a future)?
Look foward to your advice
Cheers Tuurbo
Software engineering is software engineering, it's all the same. The career path depends more on the individual projects you work on rather than the actual language. Although DSP and C can be more hardware level than the others.
Java, C# and C++ probably has better prospects from a software engineering point of view, leave the DSP and C stuff to the real hardware engineers ;-)

It's not really the programming language that decides this but what you want to program! Most application development is done in C#, VB.NET and Java. Games and more hardcore programs in C++. Embedded systems usually C, sometimes C++.
To true, but even C++ is becoming specialised and is more likeley to be found in embedded apps these days.
