The sample (http://www.dice.com) is the best public sampling available to
many of us. extroplating (sp?) based on small samples is done all that time,
offcourse it will be nice to have a larger sample to have more confidence.
But the main point is, you have not given us any other source of data to
counter the data presented by dice. At least I point to some concrete data.
You want us to believe that Ada programmers make as well or even better than
C/C++/Java/VB programmers, when at the same time there is hardly any
positions open for Ada programmers and the few that are open are in
insignificant amount compared to the rest, this makes it a little
hard to understand your argument.
Kevin.
