Wise policy. I keep getting tempted by that dark world, though. The subject matter I was working on was awesome (real-time radar signal processing) and I had a great 60/40 balance of EE/CS knowledge focus. I can't find any jobs like that out in the real world, though. Everyone out there seems to want either a CS expert or an EE expert, not a hybrid.

You may try some embedded devices work, there's a nice mixture of EE (for when things don't work, usually) and CS

It may be related to the dark world as well, but it seems to be waning.
