I have to disagree. As a unemployed person, that see lots of job openings for one trick ponies, I wish I was a one trick pony, I am not, and I am already without my lunch (in the literal sense, I've been eating mostly potatoes for the last weeks, my parents don't have money to buy even chicken daily). I am mainly a Lua, C and C++ coder. Most job openings I see are for Java EE specialists, or people that know the entire database stack (ie: Oracle + some server side coding tech) Or it is for .NET specialists, and so on. I am willing to work with that stuff, but people want to hire only extremely experienced people in those fields, my years of coding C# for fun to makes games with XNA and RunUO does not count, I don't have a huge stack of Java certifications, and so on. But the people I know that are coding Java since its existance, and don't know anything else (example, cannot grasp pointers or some other basic concepts that are not used directly in Java) have a job. I wish I went with that boring route instead... (I know lots of random languages, Lua, C and C++ are my favourite, but I know C#, J2ME, BASIC, MushCODE, Linoleum, PHP, and some others, all because I am curious and learn for the sake of learning).
