Ask HN: best-paid field to speciaze in programming/IT?
I would rather do programming, but I don't mind if it's something related like pentesting, reverse engineering, etc. Bonus points if it's a field where programming in Python is at least an option, since I love it.
Is it Android development? iPhone development? Web development (probably not)? Machine learning? ...
What can I learn in the following year or months if I want a higher salary or, maybe, work as a highly paid contractor?

If you dream of making an iPhone app that people use every day, go that route. If you want to hack into the Fortune 100, get into information assurance. Want to build vast networks, become a network engineer.
The point is that any of these things can be lucrative, but they are competitive fields with no guarantees. Follow your heart, work hard and hopefully the riches will follow!
