Re: Midrange Jobs National Discussion

At this point, I've decided to get out of the industry.  IMO the iSeries has 
pretty much dried up here in the SF Bay Area.  The majority of companies that 
still have one are buying packaged software and installing it.  Custom code is 
becoming a dinosaur. 
  
So after 26 years in the industry my choices are to learn a new language and 
operating system and then hope that those jobs aren't outsourced in 5 years.  
Its not worth it to me at this point. 
  
I'm hoping I look good in red, since I just applied to Target for the benefits 
while I do my career change.....

I got laid off five years ago as a senior programmer/analyst and just now
got a 6 month contract as a computer operator. There is nothing available.
I've also fallen behind on my skills and don't know what to do next.
