re: #96 Walter L. Newton

I could use a job. Most here know I work at a live theatre, but that is not what I would rather be doing full time, since I am a programmer, and I like using my intellectual skills more than my artistic skills.

My first job was as a programmer, cobol fortran algol assembler and all those more or less dead languages, almost 40 years ago. It, and managing programmers and systems got me to where I have some income now, but I don’t think there are any programming jobs for anyone much over 30 anymore. Unless one is brilliant, it strikes me as a churn and burn profession.
