I'll take your word for it on the state of the cf market in Australia. You live and work there, and have first hand experience. Would like to hear from other Aus based cfers too on this.
But, you have to see how your initial post and the thread title were misleading. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 21 January 2010 14:07 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Why i fear ColdFusion is on its last legs You are being a jerk Phillip. I'm talking about one of the world's largest and most sophisticated cities. The largest city in a very advanced economy. And in this city of nearly 5 million people there are apparently 4 jobs for people involving ColdFusion, and of those, only 2 actually want any ColdFusion programming. If I was Adobe's CEO I'd be reading the riot act about it. This is how it's been for over a year, in a country that DID NOT go into recession. I'm not complaining because I cant have the perfect job in the perfect place and I'm not going to accept anything less. That's insulting. I'm not sitting idly waiting for money to fall into my hands. That's insulting too. And how dare you presume to decide for me that I should uproot my family, kids, sell my house, move my businesses, find help for my disabled wife, when you havent got a clue about my personal situation. Life's all very easy when you dont have to worry about little details like that - when it's not YOUR family you are tipping upside down. Dont be a jerk. Actually READ what i'm saying or shut the hell up.
