Also, though a lot of people won't admit to it, he's putting himself in danger by taking a mediocre job. He can very easily be typecast into that sort of role for a long time.
- PonyGumbo 16y agoIs it a bigger danger to work in a mediocre job than to have a two year span of unemployment on his resume?
- Tichy 16y agoI'd say yes - I was pigeonholed as a Java Developer for 10 years...
- tansey 16y agoOh come on. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps if you don't like that. Find a hot new language and play with it in your spare time. Start an open source project with it. Contribute to the community. Then apply to jobs with that knowledge and skill set on your resume, and you'll break out of that role. Just have to want it.

- Tichy 16y agoThere is not that much time left with a job. There is something to be said for focussing on what you want. What I might hold against "those kids" is lack of imagination. They wait for opportunities instead of creating them. I am not a java dev anymore, but I sure lost a lot of time.
- ihumanable 16y agoAgreed, I worked in .Net and Java for a few years, decided I wanted to get back to PHP, started up an open source project, started talking about it and mastering the language in my free time. Now I work a PHP job that I love and I like to think having a couple thousand lines of example code out in the wild gave me an edge.
- capital_omega 16y agoI don't know, but I think both are bad. If I were him, I'd probably bump the college degree by a couple years.
