Automation List :
Today, most industrial automation companies are reporting economic setbacks. Larger companies are under pressure, with declining sales and profits causing a wave of mergers, consolidations and layoffs that will continue to change the landscape.
In this changing scenario, what's a budding young controls and instrumentation engineer or technician to do? Or, for that matter, if you have already spent several years in the instruments business, should you simply wait for
the ax to fall?
Rather than suggest you defect to other "burgeoning" markets, I'd like to propose more practical directions that combine your own personal strengths with new thinking in a new economy.
