I was being a wee bit flippant ;-) To be fair though - availability of gainful employment seems to depend somewhat on your skillset and how much you're willing to work for. For instance - I'm not currently working in a techie role, after being asked to work within different role instead. I might be a techie at heart, but being able to turn my hand to another role helped keep me in a job in the IT dept. I thought about what you said re lack of gainful employment, so just did a quick employment search on http://base.google.co.uk/ Admittedly, given that Linux is my 'second language' if you like, I wasn't looking for Linux jobs in particular, but having had some Microsoft training I can always fall back on that. Looking around there seemed to be a few jobs for people with those kind of skills. Do you think that perhaps the reason you're finding it hard finding a job could be because you want something very specific. There are a few jobs out there for web developers, are you looking for something different?
