Have a very close friend out of work, several others struggling to make a living freelancing. All could write an assembler program while attending a soccer match and the code would be PERFECT. Years and years of mainframe experience. The guy completely out of work has no prospects in sight, the others are barely holding on with contract work that's few and far between. None seek ridiculous salaries or charge ridiculous rates. If there's "all these jobs", where ARE they? Gotta agree with Mary Anne, it doesn't add up...
