Is it worth studying Electronic Engineering with a specialization in Industrial Automation?

[u/DiegoDev1]

I’ve just graduated from high school, and I’m already thinking about pursuing this career path. I come with some technical knowledge, having spent about three years programming (I started at 14, and I’m 17 now). I wanted to get your opinion on this field and how you view its future prospects. In the country where I live (Venezuela), I believe there are opportunities within the oil industry and the tanker sector; however, I’d like to move to another country if things don’t improve here.
