Even if they don't pay as well, Ada jobs >are far more exciting! *envious sigh* And they all require US citizenship... Personally I'd love to work with Ada when I graduate, but realistically my only hope is to find a non-military site. Does anyone care to comment on the state of the civillian Ada job market? I know that Ada is (rightfully, IMAO) touted as the language of choice for ATC, avionics, industrial control etc., but are many employers in such commercial domains actually using it? Or should I just accept my inevitable assimilation into the C++ collective? Thanks... Simon Simon Brady simon.brady@stonebow.otago.ac.nz
