I'm going to argue that "Android apps" is not a career. You won't find many people making real money on their apps. Most people do it for a mix of fun and profit, if that. Android application development is a really niche area, without a solid background in computer science or some related field, you'll quickly be out of a job with no alternative. But to answer your question, of course not, see the last point in Edsger Dijkstra's "How do we tell truth's that might hurt" :-) Kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
