Yeah, i agree with the above post. I just about completed my degree in Aeronautical Eng. and through the recent selection process i attended at Agusta Wesland, they mentioned that they also had a shortage of avionics applicants.
A word of note to ppl considering Aero-eng, its not as specialised on aircraft as you think. Inustry dont know where to put you as its so broad, touching on ALL areas and hence i am fighting my guts out to even be conisdered for avionics (since it isnt an avionis degree - i was only exposed to 3 relevent modules in my entire 3 years!)
