I specialized in NLP as well (did a PhD and wrote some papers about it), but could not find any job here where I live, so I reinvented myself as full-stack web developer. But web dev is a freaking never-ending never-stable world, so I'm quite sure that pretty soon I'll move back to NLP or general AI..
I am also curious to know, what are some things which would be worth specializing and hold great value for the future? (Of course, it is hard to predict the future, but would just like to know what the HN community is betting on)
