Just my 2 cents. I cant advise as far as a industrial career as I have not worked in the industry. But I can give a couple observations I have seen of late.
Technology is changing the job market faster than the people can react to it. Locking your self in to only one type of work is a mistake and can lock you out in 5 years
I would recommend that you find a degree or training that can cross a wide range of jobs types. That way you can shift as the technology shifts.
For example for me in 1995 I became aware of this. I looked around and noticed that every thing was going to computers. That was the linch pin to almost every job. I learned every thing I could about operating systems, Hardware and networking. Not a expert on any one area but versed enough that I understood it and could use it.
That has served me very very well across 3 careers so far.
Started as a Underground utility locator. When they went from paper to digital. My computer knowledge Opened the door to a promotion to Area supervisor. After 12 years of that. Competition and other factors turned that career into junk.
The Computer skills plus Locating and supervisory skills opened a door to the Phone company as a High Speed internet technician. That was great loved it. But as any one can see. The phone companies are not growing. from what I hear in 10 years every thing including internet will be over 25 Gigabit wireless connections. Not a good sign if your job is maintaining the external network. Should I hang on and try not to be the last guy out the door? Not likely as my seniority was at the bottom.Time to go.
I now work for the power company as a system controller. Great gig will be here until I retire.
Moral is: Don't lock your self into one skill that can be sold to only one job. Find some thing that is similarly used by a wide variety of jobs. Preferably ones that cant be outsourced.
