I've worked in a number of domains. My CV looks pretty unconventional. I went from telecomms, to renewable energy, then embedded electronics for instrumentation, a stint in academia, from there to high power radio and TV broadcast and now particle accelerators. They are different industries but have the common thread of engineering with a heavy electrical and electronic bias. I think that is the secret, to have enough of a common thread and to bootstrap using knowledge gained from one industry to move to another. Also, systems analysis and problem solving generally transfer pretty well.
