Eiffel? Bertrand Meyer promised me I would make millions. (his book was great though)

Where's ADA, I have some experience and surely it must be in demand with all those missile systems needed these days?

[Francko]

Also SKA is not there. I was planning to be the first SKA certified specialist of the world.

Also network consultancy seems to be missing...and also it's quite hard to outsource.
Seems that there aren't so many networking contractors on the panel, I wonder why...

Security is missing - it should be there - i would vote for it...

You need these acronyms PRINCE2, .NET, SC, C of E, WASP

[wattaj]

Agreed...
EUSD was good, but this could be better.

Boring as f', but it's all money at the end of the day.

Get into MiFID

I would guess there's more .Net contracts and will be for a time to come, also once you have 3 years experience, and are good then you should be set until the next bust.

True, but it is still a technology that can be offshored.
I would have thought it would be better to aim for a higher, soft-skill target.

Something that requires a degree of business knowledge and aptitude.

What about Oil & Gas Exploration & Military Hardware?

Yup...
All need change mis-managers and paper generators.

What about Oil & Gas Exploration & Military Hardware? Seem fairly lucrative at the mo.

[wattaj]

As much as I would like to pick a technological option from the list...
Most of them can be outsourced to cut-price, bodyshop in the back-end of beyond.

I would go for pretty much anything non-technical that can "facilitate business process change and/or change management" or generate vast volumes of wasted paper...

Not the most interesting or artistic work, but it does seem to pay well.

Where's "anything Micro$oft"? That always needs fixing...
