What is biggest demand as far as programming skills go? I have database management experience but I eventually want to branch out and do my own contracting. Is there a future here?

Biggest demand is currently in web application development, and that is being filled by Pajeets and their shoddy code. There may not be much demand here until the bubble pops and major corporations realize high cost of cheap labor.

There's also some demand in the gaming industry, if you dare to tread into those waters.

Thanks. I'll probably stay away from games but I'll look into it. I always here people bitching about the Indians and they always say they do a shitty job. Is there no quality control?

Do mean individual languages or are you talking about the general fields?
As far as languages go, the more you know the better. Don't think you're just going to learn python and then get 60k/yr. Learn as many as possible.
As far as fields go, the above guy is correct.
Poojets don't really dominate it that bad. Lots of companies are realizing that it's better to hire a handful of quality programmers than it is to sub it out to an army of poojets and then inevitably have to call in the quality programmer anyway to fix the shitty code.

There is quality control, but most inspectors know to keep the standards low. They can't keep turning away a product, so they usually just ship what they got, even if it is riddled with bugs and inefficiency. They reason, "Oh, we can just patch those later," which is what they end up having to do.
Game design and programming shouldn't be altogether ignored. The reason I caution you against it is that many major developers today are going under due to diversity quotas. Many are forced to integrate the "lesser privileged" into coding and, God forbid, developer roles, which means that most of the work gets shoved upon the competent guys. They work those guys like dogs.
I can't say indie developers are much better, especially given the propensity toward social justice, but I'm sure there are some indie developers that eschew that bullshit and just want to make a fun game.
A rounded software developer has skills in the following:
>web development (i.e. Javascript, html, css...)
>core programming (i.e. Java, C#, etc.)
>database manipulation (i.e. SQL, annotations through RESTful calls, etc...)
however, recently, I've seen, over the internet, many indians that are good at math, so, there can be good pajeets programmers?
If I'm interested in reverse engineering, and x86 what can I do?

It really depends on where you live and work. In more liberal cities, its a cancer that is consuming all but the most established of companies. But its seeping into even the more conservative companies as well. It will all end soon, though. Something has to give. Either it will make businesses go bottom-up or businesses will expunge it altogether. The more likely event, however, would be a complete separation of the social justice aspects of the business from the business side of the business.
Additionally, the way things are, the environment is primed for indie gaming companies that completely toss out that bullshit and just have a good time.

>I remember reading headlined but is the social justice bullshit really that bad?
Yes
