Actually I am graduated as Software Engineer, thus joining at beginning I doubt alot that this might not be the path, as I love programming and application developing, be after for few months I started to luv the technologies that use to create almost every electronic devices available..... I might still have the feeling of going back to work as Software engineer, but if the path I am having here now is equivalent good, I might continue the flow... thanks
