   Hi,   
      
   I'm a student of M.Sc. in computer engineering. I'm going to begin to   
   work on the thesis, which I think to be something in the field of AI.   
   Mainly I'm interested in Machine Learning (ANN, GA, RL) which I recently   
   briefly studied in a Soft Computing course, but I don't exclude other AI   
   parts not yet known to me.   
      
   To decide which detailed topic to work on, I want to consider also which   
   job opportunities I could find there.   
      
   Excluding PhDs/academic careers in universities, which sectors of AI are   
   likely to offer good job perspectives, now and in the future? Which jobs   
   are these?   
   (I mean, jobs with some kind of diffusion thus offering several   
   opportunities, good employment conditions, topics not likely to get   
   outdated, ... )   
   In general, are AI-jobs perspectives better than other 'classical' CS   
   ones (e.g. software development, DB, networks) ?   
      
   As a location to establish, I plan about Switzerland or Germany in the   
   long range, but I can also consider limited periods in other European   
   countries or US.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Mario
