Thanks!!! I being very much interested to build a career in VLSI field am totally new to the field. I want to know the exact tree diagram of the VLSI field. For example, the tree diagram of an Engg. Graduate would be as:
First level: Engg.
Second Level: Electronics (Civil, Mechanical, Production, Chemical, Computer Science, Information Technology, Oils, Paints, Instrumentation,..... (110 branches roughly))
Third Level: VLSI Engg. (Communication Engg., Embedded System Engg., etc.)
Fourth Level:???????

How further a career in VLSI is classified? :?: What are the specializations available to a VLSI Engg.? :?: Which are the job opportunities? and so on and on.... I would be very much thankful for your reply.

Please do help a budding engg. find his pathway in a right direction...
