From an e-mail I sent to some ex-coworkers today:
You know what bugs the shit out of me? I'll tell you.
There are lots of web developer jobs out there. Lots. But I have to ignore most of them. You want
to know why? Because they're either one of two kinds:
1) Web developer wanted. Must answer phones, sell hamburgers, take dictation and update web site.
$6.50/hour, no benefits.
2) Web developer wanted. $85,000.00/year, relocation paid. Must know Tomcat, J2EE and SQL. HTML,
graphics experience helpful, not necessary.
What?!? With the first job they don't want me - they want a secretary who knows how to use
FrontPage. And with the second job they don't want a web developer - they want a FUCKING
PROGRAMMER. Pisses me off. |
