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?

Cheers
