Hi-tech job market

A CV posted to Sluts gets me worried. People with computer skills no longer waltz into high-paying jobs. Even [livejournal.com profile] mangros can't get a job. Things are definitely not as easy for computer people as they used to be.

The market is getting saturated... the web in particular. Anyone can now pick up Front Page and do a site. They may look appalling, but they don't need to budget ?10K of funds to do it...

Just looked at your CV - what precisely are you worried about? :)

Try working in publishing...

I feel sorry for the poor little Mangros though. What are they, some kind of rodent?

You're thinking of Mangroves.

No, wait, Borogroves.

No, wait, er, Borrowers.
