Communications by a long shot.

Power distribution.

Alternative energy.

Automotive - especially hybrid cars.

Process control - i.e. control panels, PLCs etc.

Note the difference between electrical and electronic. If you want to get into engineering, then you should go for electrical rather than electronic which is all going to the far east. People will always need electrical engineers so there'll never die out.
