I'm asking on someone's behalf.<p>He's a very experienced (20+ years) analogue electronics engineer who's currently doing some bits and bobs to stay afloat, however, it isn't really enough to pay the family bills.<p>His areas of expertise are audio and sensitive measurement (think photons) and is definitely a mad genius type.<p>Is his a dying breed/skill or are there well paid jobs out there which just aren't being advertised?<p>Thanks.
