The best advice is to continue to sharpen your Ada skills
in your spare time, and look for that job which will not
only let you use Ada, but encourage you to do so! And
meanwhile keep up your program of encouragement, you never

available to help you fight the good fight. Check the
adahome site for some useful pointers.
