Hi all,

i've been reading and learning about ada due to
some...annoyance...with c++.  the first computer programming book i
ever read was booch's _software engineering with ada_ ( got it for $2
) and i've liked the language ever since.  now, it's 4 years later and
i'm looking for a programming job.

my question is:  what strategies do you use to successfully obtain
work where you can program in ada on a regular basis?  monster.com
showed 35 jobs ( for senior engineers ) nationwide ( US ).  what
advice do you have for someone that is new to the language and fairly
junior as a programmer?

thanks,

tom
