Topic: I cannot believe this

He only uses Dreamweaver and basic html. He's unfamiliar with unix servers, can't set up a cgi-bin, does not know ASP, the only javascript he's seen is the generic code spit out by dreamweaver and fireworks. โk!!!!!!!!!
It used to drive me nuts to hear about stuff like that. I chose to stay at the university because I have a good position, cannot be fired, and outstanding benefits. Granted, I make peanuts comparably, but my job is not going anywhere.
Justice was served, more or less. He worked for a start up .com, and as you know, they are dying fast. He was laid off yesterday.
He tells me that all he has to do is "just spend a couple of weeks learning a little ASP" and "some javascript" and he can make k out there in California. IS THIS TRUE! It cant be true. Tell me he is living in a dream world!!!!

Granted Vegas sux donkey balls job-wise, out here you have to know a LOT to get any type of web development job at a high salary.
AAARRRRRGGGGGHHH. I need to move. Today.

with cost of living as high as it is there, if your friend was worth much salt, he'd make twice that, at least.

He's in Orange County. Update: No interviews or callbacks as of yet. And he's having problems putting up his Pers. Web Server so he can start learing ASP :0
I see the cost of living issue. My cost of living here is pretty low. Rent is not that expensive, and no state income tax. 
I still dont feel better.
