Dear experts,

I am working adults and currently pursuing part time bachelors of technology in electronics in one of the open university here. At age >30, I have to choose wisely which elective subjects are most useful and demanding to determine my next path of my career soon after I graduated. I am still cannot my make decision to choose 2 electives subjects as my major:

discovering physics and chemistry
problem solving with object in Java
operating systems
field theory
quality and reliability
information theory
electronics materials and devices
microelectronics (VLSI Systems)

I am currently working in hi-tech semiconductor industry and hopefully after graduation soon I can get or change career to other technical field especially in oil & gas (Hopefully it is not too late for me consider my age at that time smile.gif ). So I hope someone here can help me to choose wisely.
Thank you.

hi DenshaOtoko..

education is nvr too late for anyone.. if u wanna upgrade urself and ur status, education is one of the best choices around..

ok.. back to ur question.. from the eight elective subjects that u haf listed.. i can see one combination that has a good market value.. since u r doing electronics, microelectronics is a good choice.. the word "micro" takes u deeper into electronics.. coupled wif electronics materials and devices, u wil b an expert in d field of electronics..

sadly though.. electronics and oil n gas are two different things all together.. rarely u see an electronics graduate in an oil n gas field.. u shd haf chosen something that has close relationship wif oil n gas.. but i do understand.. u plan to relate ur working experience in ur degree..

anyway.. wish u all d best..

Hi exquisite_markas,

Thanks for the advice. Yes you are right... electronics and oil & gas are two different field but I have no choice at my current university as they offer only bachelor in electronics for engineering fields. So this is the only choice that I can pursue my degree related to my working experience. Even though it focus more on electronic field of study but I hope it has some subjects that I can relate to any requirement for any electrical/electronic jobs in oil & gas field and I believe the scope of oil & gas field is wide.

Btw, thanks again for your advice.
