Re: can anyone offer Lisp job?

BTW What are you doing for living all this years ?
Few days ago i had a drink with one of my former
boss Carl ,he was layed of two years ago and now
he's in the furniture business with his father in law.
and his doing pretty good , designer suit , BMW
i must admit that i am little bit jealous .
Now he doesn't want to get back in the software business
though he was the best coder i had a chance to work for .
He decide to be where they want him and where the money is .
Maybe you should check your options too .
