Yep.  Also, I think that the people hiring Ada or M3 programmers are
looking for more knowledge and an higher level of talent from their
programmers (hence the unsatisfied demand and the higher pay).  This is
not the case with C or C++.  

The nature of many (if not most) C and C++ projects is such that they
would hire anybody.  

So when a student says "I won't learn language X because I want a job."
(where X is neither C nor C++) what he or she really means is "I'm not
talented enough to compete in domains that use other languages than C or
C++."
