 Anyone else find it funny that everyone itt looking for jobs are web programmers? I guess it helps to have skills that are actually marketable instead of knowing php.

Yeah, web programmers are so nooby and such, the internet is a fad.

A big demand but an even bigger supply.

Oh I get it so that makes them bad.

I did a fair amount of job hunting last year and while my experience in "marketable" skills eclipse my experiences in php and web dev work, for every C++ or similar position that came up, there were a dozen or more for web development. Take a guess at which one I got hired in and what I'm working with these days (hint, it's the stuff that's highly marketable right now).

Not bad for someone without a degree!

You will be receiving specialized Niche Oracle training that will serve you well no matter what you do or where you go

Out of curiosity, how would that help me at any place that does actual programming?
