AVR-Chat

Nowadays, when it comes to ASIC Design, it seems to me that companies 
are looking for people who fulfill either of the following 
requirements..

1) 10+ years of experience

or 

2) live in India and have an EE degree

Don't believe me?  Just check monsterboard or yahoo jobs.

So, I think the notion of "how-to-get-started" is really a moot point 
if you're a North American engineer.  I'm just trying to enjoy the 
ride while I still can.. before I go into *gasp*.. Marketing
