which field to choose

Hai everyone,

it seems like that most of your must have heard of me now, i am
"arnuld", who posted many (2-5) questions here and of course i got no
general answers but very specific answers according to my needs , i
felt hapy evertime i got such *respected* response. i have also posted
answers to peopl'e problems but only occasionaly as my knowledge is not
so wide. upto now i am here from last 8-10 months. i have a good time
here as usually i search the archives once a week and get something
learned. now i have some problem and i searched the whole GOOGLE.GROUPS
and GOOGLE too but did not get the information i needed, so in the end
i posted my question here. i know it is not a right place but i do not
know any other place providing good information, anyway i have posted
it also on comp.programming:

AIM:- i want to work on a project. i have no idea of which project to
choose because i do not have any information regarding different fields
of programming. i want to know

a.) what are these different fields
b.) intensity of career opprtunities in them in next 5 years:

1.) Embedded programing / languages

2.) Ebedded OSs

3.) Server based software (like VIAWEB of Paul Graham)

4.) web applications

5.) web develoment

6.) OS programing

7.) Databases like PG, MySQL, CLSQL etc.

8.) other interesting fields

presently i am learning LISP, working on ch-8 of PCL (MACROS are vary
hard to understand and much harder to write). i have been through
TOURETZKY. i was completely a newbie before that.

i want to choose an open-source project to work on for free( for
experience). second, i am jobless, 3rd i want to choose a project based
on my interest in the field, that is wahy i need to know those 2 things
i have asked to you.

i know folks here have less time and they are not paid to give answers.
In turn all i can do is to start providing help to people on
newsgroups as soon as i get experience of programming. well i respect
Hacker ethics. i will keep on doing work for open-source softwares
(epecially GPLed).

I will appreciate any kind of help.

thanks for your precious time.
