I understand this isn't the answer to your question but given what you've disclosed I'll have to advise against limiting yourself to embedded jobs alone. A job isn't the only way to follow your passion, in fact it may cause you to hate your passion over time. Find the most in demand skill that is somewhat interesting to you and focus on that. To follow your passion buy a cheap embedded linux board and hack away in your free time. I was in the same boat as you but now I've come to realize most jobs in tech are interesting to me, so I might as well focus on the ones that are most in demand. Just keep an open mind. Edit: Typo
