> What would be the career path for a job in chip design and manufacturing?

Very long and very lucky.

I looked into microelectronics when I was a teenager. In 2009, you needed to be at the top of your class just to get an internship with a fab or a fabless.

In general, there are more automation with each year in both design and fab side.

Companies have luxury of employing people with 20 year careers at prices of average software devs in California.
