Your profile doesn't say where you are, but you might even consider moving? I know that at least here in Alabama, there is still a need for computer proffessionals. Of course, unless you go to work for Oracle or one of the larger firms, they expect you to work for probably... less than you'd expect. But, then, the cost of living is probably way less here. We have a 9% sales tax on everything under the sun, but we have the lowest property taxes in the nation. (I have a pretty new 140k house and pay property taxes of something like $600.)Here is a sample from Salary.com A typical Client/Server Programmer II working in Birmingham, AL earns a median total cash compensation of $59,247, according to our analysis of data reported by corporate HR departments. Half of the people in this job earn between $51,911 and $67,731.  Client/Server Programmer II (IT -- All)(I chose this because it seems the most generic thing close to your expertise level)Reviews, analyzes, and modifies programming systems including encoding, testing, debugging and installing to support an organization's client/server software applications. May require a bachelor's degree in a related area and 2-4 years of experience in the field or in a related area. Familiar with relational database concepts, and client-server concepts. Relies on limited experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. Performs a variety of tasks. Works under general supervision; typically reports to a project leader or manager. A certain degree of creativity and latitude is required.</blockquote>
