I have been looking for a job for about six months. Have couple years experience, certifications, and a degree. The jobs I see require all these different technologies. I see some like: junior programmer, couple years experience, must have XML,
servlets,
JSP, ASP, SQL, as so on. Who learns all this in a couple of years? A junior programmer?
I thought the point of a degree is showing that you can learn new things quickly? Are other professions this picky? Or is it because a glut of tech people out there? You have to be proficient in everything to make 30 grand? Isn't most coding jobs just building on what they already have; learning enough to do the job is not going to take long. Don't companies realize that there is going to a learning curve no matter who you get?
