Career Advice: Diversify early !!!

Here are the exchanges btwn myself and Fresh Designer re: N展佬

新鮮人:>> .... 我有很多很多工程出身嘅朋友,做十幾廿年專業,但由於大陸工廠不斷委縮,很多都面對失業問題,他們有返咁上下年紀,又做開好專門嘅行業,唔係話轉就可以轉的,

Haricot:>> .... I think you've nailed one of the career obstacles right there -- over-specialization. It's not just engineers in HK. Many of my Canadian colleagues in the science and technology S&T field are also facing the same problem. When the paradigm shifted, they found themselves too "old" to change career direction. Advice to next generation of engineers: Diversify early !!!!
