In this forum, I constantly come across posts declaring how bad it is in the java sector of the IT labor market? That beckons the question....is it just as bad for people with other skill set? Are entry level programmers/developers specializing in Oracle, C++, Unix, etc. having just as hard a time securing a career as we are? Basically, I'm just wondering if the rest of the IT labor market is just as bad. Or perhaps, maybe Java is still a strong, viable skill set compared to all the other alternatives, which isn't saying much. Thanks in advance, Jimmy Blakely Sun Certified Java Programmer
