There seems to be no shortage of jobs for people who know Ada -- that's not
to say that they use Ada when they get hired, but knowing it and having
lots of experience in it seems to be counted as a plus.  I speak from the
experiences of my two most recent MS students who both appear to have been
snapped up by employers, one in Texas, the other in the south-bay area.

Judging by the discussions I had over the phone with their employers, they
were viewing Ada experience as having essentially the same impact as
object-oriented programming experience -- Ada is not, strictly, object
oriented, but in large projects, the Ada package and private type
mechanisms have a similar impact on the design process.
