I'm a graduate of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I'm confused on which aspect of Electronics to start exploring and learning. I love LEDs projects, microcontroller projects and Automation. Please somebody should advise me on the field that suits my interest

 

Only you can name that!
Probably industrial electronic servicing?
Max.

 

My career drifted into industrial controls, instrumentation, as well as a bit of servicing. Also designing the test systems to verify that the product is meeting specifications at the end of the production line. The beauty of that career was that the challenges were different almost every week. Those folks designing huge logic chips and computer ICs are trapped doing small parts of a huge system, while I got to define the machine concept, and then create the design, and then make sure that the details were handled. All kinds of machines, from ones reading speed for crash testing to a machine testing and calibrating A/C expansion valves, and one that checked the valve body functioning for an early computer controlled automatic transmission. All kinds of interesting projects, and the pay was OK as well.

But if you prefer something less exciting then find a job designing computer IC devices or memory controllers. BORING!!!!

 

You should get with some friends......beg some money........and start small solar and waste fermentation(methane) projects for self power generation. Ask for international grants after a few proof of concept projects. Electricity and cooking gas for the poor folks.

I would have love that but I won't be able to design but only troubleshoot and repair

I love your idea but unfortunate here. They believe only the white can design circuit. They leave black with maintenance

 

Guess you’ll just have to prove they wrong.

Whoever “they” are.

I have observed that design talent is far more dependent on what is inside than what somebody looks like. And perhaps developing the diagnostic skills for servicing would be an effective way to demonstrate creative thinking. For servicing, which I have also done a lot of, knowing how a machine is supposed to be working was usually what I utilized, comparing it to how it was working, to see quickly where the problem was. It may also be that being someplace else would have fewer barriers. But that may not be a good suggestion.
The one other thing that I know is valid is to always be learning, if not what is immediately useful, it may be a foundation for other things. And never give up!

You have enough white people in Nigeria to dominate the entire field of design Engineering?

 

My advice is to just start tinkering with stuff. See if you can develop some of your own ideas. I was playing with electronics before it was my career. Immerse yourself in all you can. Have you any interest in Ham radio for instance?
What have you built to date?
My main career in designing and building industrial control equipment was started when someone who knew my skill set approached me and offered me a job. I've found often your reputation is just as important as your qualifications, and some times more so. In fact I only have a radio tech official qualification and am self taught in the computer/micro controller area. No doubt there are a lot of holes in my knowledge but I've had a long career in electronics and some of my designs have gone on to be produced in the many thousands. That is a pretty good feeling

 

If you are going to troubleshoot & repair, Make sure it is something expensive and worth repairing.

Tinkering is fine but seldom provides a decent living income. And making a decent living income is quite handy, I have found. So the constant learning is also important.
