Programming embedded systems using Atmel and similar low-cost SoC's is very much like working on computers in the 1980s and 1990s. But with PC hosted dev tools far easier and cheaper.

Since you mention an interest in this space, consider buying an Arduino kit and building some cool personal projects. Once you have some experience, look around your part of the world and identify any needs that you could solve with an embedded solution.
