Not quite accurate. Over the last few months I was looking for a software development job in the Baltimore/DC area. I put my resume (which has C#, .NET, ASP.NET, Java, and JSP on it, though not J2EE) on Monster and HotJobs. The responses I got were 80% .NET positions, 10% C/C++ positions, and 10% Java positions. I wound up in a .NET position. The Java and C/C++ positions were either TTH (temp to hire) or full-time but not paying well. At this particular time, in this particular area, the available software development positions (outside the defense industry, which I was looking to leave) are primarily .NET development. } ~mark --Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
