Be glad you have the blue-collar job.
I know of one individual who was “rejected by Target” for hourly work.
Yeah, it can also open up a whole slew of top secret government files.
In case any of you are visiting The Swamp on the 26th:

Managers, project or otherwise, are a dime a dozen now. What’s needed is coding boots on the ground. Java has improved to the point where people are starting to convert COBOL to Java. Two things are needed: COBOL coders to read the code and Java coders to write the code.
One of the reasons for the HB1 need is that India still teaches COBOL.
I am the only person in the company that knows Oracle Forms, COBOL and Java. We have several people from India who know COBOL.
Mr. Conlon has obviously never hear of H-1Bs or offshoring.
I know Cobol and have worked a bit with Java. I just need to refresh. I’m in the process of doing that and it’s fun. I’ve always been a dev/manager hybrid so I never lost my coding skills, but I can’t compete with those that have focused primarily on coding in recent years. Change is constant.
Yep, that’s my current plan.
Cut it at its root, the 1965 Immigration Act. No sense in letting them bounce from one program to another.
I consider it an answer to prayer!
But I continue to look for something in my field.
