This is a terrible analogy; If I were a Java programmer who was unemployed, struggling to find any job at all, I would take your shitty $10/hr programming job in a heartbeat. Of course I am not under/un-employed, so I have the luxury of telling you to take your shitty job offering and shove it. Your little scenario seems absurd to all of us because we all know that there are plenty of far better programming jobs available. We are not looking at a job shortage.

Unless you were collecting unemployment, in which case the shitty $10/hour job would result in a net loss.

  Or the Java market is in the process of undergoing systemic changes and you're not yet a Java programmer, just someone with some technical skill who could spend time and money to becoming proficient.

  More than worth closing the resume employment gap.

There are better programming jobs out there precisely because there are fewer capable programmers than there are jobs. If we had more programmers than jobs, you would be looking at the $10/hr job right now, because if you didn't take it, someone else would jump all over it.
