Don't get me wrong, I'm as die hard CF as the next guy, you have to admit
two years ago CF contracts paid a lot more than they do now. I know, some
one's gonna post and say they're making 200k a year, obviously it's not
gone, but there are less people making 200k a year now, and not due to a
lack of skills.
2 years ago there were recruiters and gigs calling night and day, now they
call less, and I have to be more active, all of which I think is good.

I disagree. And I am a diehard ColdFusion Developer. I truly believe that
the web is at a slow down right now, but when it does come back, it's going
to be very Object Oriented. All of the RDBMSs' are in that directly and the
programming as well. The only thing I see soming close is JRUN.
