    I got a degree in this in college but always struggled to find work with it. Ended up doing IT support for years because it was easier to get into only recently I got a job that has anything to do with electronics but it would be nice to get into the design and programming side of things. Yet it seems there are very few such jobs out there in Ireland especially outside of Dublin

    What would be the best way of sneaking into one of those jobs? Am I facing stiff competition?

    You're another victim of the STEM hype unfortunately.

    Try and progress in the IT side might be better for you.

    Can you show us some recent design and programming projects you've done?
