    Hoping for advice.

    I left an engineering career in 02 to set up a business which is now gone.

    I need a job but i'm way out of the loop.

    Any advice on areas I could retrain in relatively quickly?

    Thanks

    Would you be open to Software Development? You have experience in Hardware Testing. I'm sure you could learn about and how to use Linux, C and C++. With Automated testing and Development, you could work with hardware at a low level.

    I'll see if I can root out jobs that would match the above requirements later if it interests you.

    Thanks! I'm open to anything I could be competent at!

    The above seems to be the only example of a Hardware Job, but with a lot of Software Development, if that's something you'd be interested in working towards.

    Thanks.

    How about software testing? Is this a realistic career with retraining?
    Any private company running good courses?
