Otherwise known as “being a salesman”.

Everyone has to “sell” their skills.

6 sigma is about a 25 year old buzz word. It was used at GE in the 90’s

The demand for WIMP (C# and .NET/ASPX, IIS and MSSQL) is not as high as for LAMP, but it’s there. It’s more of a niche skillset, but that means it consequently demands and gets a higher salary scale.

MVVM/MVC is not for the squeemish and requires a lot of discipline. DB design is also big. The biggest bucks go to DBAs who know relational theory and how to design a properly normalized DB schema or can conjur up complex ad hoc searches for data mining in multi-axis analytics.

Accounting is SO 1980s. Accounting presumes accountability will be enforced. It's still a growth job in the IRS though, especially if you are into auditing the Tea Party.

Marketing? Recruiting?

For most of the computer-related stuff, all that is needed is a logical mind and a willingness to learn and work dull programming languages.

(Sure, some data mining analysis and serious econ need serious math.)

RE: I dont see C# or .NET or WPF MVVM up there.

Isn’t that under the list of Web Architecture and Development Framework or User Interface Design?

I'm heading into retirement in a couple of years (am now a federal auditor). That is, until the next banking crisis and the FDIC ramps back up.

Did tax return prep for 20+ years, and I loved doing battle with the IRS. Still, it got boring, thanks to all the added regulations and licensing requirements.

I no longer have a career...just a job and I can live with that. I'll find something to keep me busy when I "retire", but it will be of my choosing.
