I get to use it at work.  The reason is probably that I am hired to do
research, not to develop software.  This means that management doesn't
interfere with my choices in how I do my work (except when they cost
money).

It looks like there are Ada jobs around.  But they appear to be in a
limited supply - like most interesting jobs.

It probably depends on what you want to do.  If you want to do
full-time software development in Ada, it will probably be harder,
than if you just want a job, where your main task isn't software
development, but you are free to write the software you need in Ada.
