Dunno.  Learning?  Flexibility?  Freedom?  Avoidance of a BOSS and the
bottom line?

Sigh.  Bucks, bux, Bucks, bux, $$$$$.  Really, is that all there is to
living?

Anybody want to argue to quality of living in _Youngstown_ versus
Silicon Valley?  Perhaps there's more culture.  On the other hand, you
don't have to do five mph. for two hours each way with every other BMW
on their way to work.  Note that I've never lived in Youngstown but I've
chosen the Midwest over SilValley jobs offering $20K more.  Thanks, but
I've got enough strip malls out here to last a lifetime.

Is this what Jefferson meant by the "Gentleman Farmer?"

Just another unsolicted opinion from the terminal with the
BAD ATTITUDE.

Hey, don't worry.  The CS job demand is about to hit rock bottom.  Can
you say "want fries with that?"
