If _I_ were to employ _one_ person and had the choice between one with extensive coursing in C/C++ but little general informatics and one with perhaps only one course in several languages, _I_ would asume that the latter one is probably more adaptable and hence more suited for the needs of my company.

Again, _I_ would rather have an inexperienced, versatile employee than a mastodont of a C/C++ programmer with years of programming. Disclaimer: This is how _I_ would judge. I don't know wether the average employer would think likewise. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tenneb� | email: frode@tennebo.com | Frode@IRC ^ | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |
