I have managed to make a decent living for myself as a consultant who
works primarily on OpenBSD. When I am hiring/evaluating applicants,
having OpenBSD experience on their resume shows me that they don't fuck
around and indicates that they are passionate about Unix and have a
personal drive to better themselves and acquire knowledge. Folks who are
familiar and comfortable with OpenBSD tend to be the types who are able
to seek and acquire knowledge quickly and effectively while at the same
time being able to think critically and objectively.
In situations/jobs that don't explicitly _require_ OpenBSD, I often find
a way to make OpenBSD a part of the job, as most people hiring a
consultant don't actually know what they need-- that's why they hire
me!. If you are "learning" OpenBSD with the sole goal of getting a cushy
job, you're gonna have a bad time. If you are learning OpenBSD for the
sake of learning OpenBSD, and because you are passionate and want to
understanding how a sane, logical operating system is put together, then
you will be giving yourself a gift that will keep on giving.
The moral of the story is, the Dunning-Kreuger effect is extremely
prevalent in the IT world, and most of these wannabe tough guy
"enterprise" fags don't even know, what they don't know. The IT world is
full of dipshits who don't understand what's important. Most every
OpenBSD aficionado I have met has been humble and compassionate, as for
the most part, they realize that they know just enough to know that they
know nothing.
