You've had some great comments, but I think fundamentally the answer to your 
question is another question: where does your heart lie? In other words, 
what do *you* like to do? What is it about embedded engineering that appeals 
most to you?

People learn best by doing. Have you tried getting an internship at a 
company whose projects you want to be a part of? Look at their job 
descriptions, find one that sounds the best to you, and focus on the areas 
of expertise that the job calls for. Tailor your resume to fit the job 
description for the best chance to get hired.

Money is important, but job satisfaction is at least as important. Doing 
what you enjoy is often worth a pay cut.

PS  While many say the economy is improving, I see things that lead me to 
believe that we have not seen the worst yet and the recovery we are seeing, 
is artificial. Typically during a recession you are better off on your own, 
i.e. not working as an employee, but either running your own company or 
working as a consultant. Most companies follow the policy "last one hired, 
first one to go."
