My advice is to broaden your skills and be able to move anywhere in the
country . Being a student that may be impossible, and you may need to
finish your degree first, or see about getting a degree online so you
can move permanent without losing sight of finishing school. You also
need to have more Windows experience. I mean, unless your going to
start your own company and write a product for the Mac that will sell
enough to make a living (rare), your going to have to work for someone
else, which may mean *some* sacrifice. Its nice to be picky, but in
many ways you have to sort of earn that, and many times its by years of
experience professionally or a unique entrepreneurial talent that
allows you to be successful, all without any professional experience
right out of the gate. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a hard ass or
anything, I was an OS/2 fanatic 10 years ago , and when it came to
finding jobs and an income, I had to face the cold hard reality that I
was working on a fringe platform. Others may be more successful, but I
would suggest that they are the exception. You NEED more Windows and
C++ experience and or Java to earn a living in IT as a programmer in
MOST cases. Just the opinion of someone who has tried to stay exclusive
to a narrow set of technologies and learned that the rest of the world
was out there doing a different thing :-). If anyone else has
experience otherwise, I would love to hear it, as I always find it
inspirational to see the success of others, such as the recent success
of Delicious Monster etc.
