C/C++ jobs pay BETTER than Ada ??? What a joke... You obviously have never looked at the Ada market have you ?? I've said it before on the newgroup, and I'll say it again...If you're willing to relocate (and that's not really necessary after a while), from *PERSONAL* experience over the past 15 years, I've NEVER had a problem finding good paying and interesting Ada jobs !! What's more, rarely have I ever used the Want Ads of the Sunday Paper... If you want to stay in one area, then diversify, be proficient in C,C++, and Ada, and know more than just how to crank out code... Regards Mark S.
