On a more serious note, than some of the other replies, I must say:

1. I have been applying for a job for about a month now.
2. About 85% of them are like that.
3. They require years of experience in obscure languages and frameworks I've never heard of before.
4. Job boards advertise positions that are already filled, or don't exist at all.
5. Many recommend jobs like checkout clerk. They don't check your resume when they have it on file and match you
to a job that matches your skills.
6. There is REAL age discrimination against both old and young candidates.

Finally, I could not agree with you more. Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad: Mad | :mad:

Really finally, I do VB6 to C#/VB.net conversions, and SQL Server design and maintenance. In case you know of anything please let me know.
