Same problem here. It takes some ingenuity to get paid well and use the stack you love. I am working on it. One way is to convince your current company to try something new on a small project to get its feet wet. Any MS shop could consider F# and Java shop could consider Scala/Clojure as in each case it compiles down to compatible ones and zeros. Or it could be a case of get a .NET/Java job at an open-minded enough company. One of my arguments to introduce F# (when I am ready to) is that F# is now (a probably better version of) what C# is going to be in 5-10 years time, so lets get ahead of the curve.
