I agree.

My point is actually this: I know about data compression, cryptology, 
DSP, complex numbers, statistics, logic circuits, numerical integration, 
sound synthesis, differential calculus, functional programming, data 
structures and algorithms... I could go on. Now, who *the hell* is going 
to care about any of these things?

Heh, if only I could *find* thousands of IT jobs! :-P

Actually, I've been thinking about this one. Maybe I'm setting my sights 
too high. Maybe I just need to accept that nobody is ever going to pay 
me to write computer programs, and start looking for boring sysadmin 
jobs instead... Those surely have drastically greater availability, and 
at least I can claim to have real, relevant commercial experience.
