.Net Programmers Fall in CNN's Top 5 In-Demand

GT_Alias writes "CNN Money is reporting that .Net programmers are one of the top 5 most in-demand jobs. Of the positions where recent surveys have indicated a labor shortage, .Net developers and QA analysts are the two that fell under the 'technology' category. According to CNN Money, .Net developers can make between $75-85K starting out in major cities, with the potential to make 15% more if they have a particular proficiency. Additionally, QA workers can make $65-75K a year with the ability to negotiate a 10-15% pay jump if they switch jobs. How does this information compare with the Slashdot crowd's real-world experience?"

There's a Reason For the Fall

The demand for .NET programmers won't last. It's foolish to build life around a Microsoft technology when global anti-MS sentiment is exploding. You won't see me out there being a prostitute for MS. Don't rush onto a sinking ship.

WHY??

I'm learning VB .NET for school and o far it seems pretty useless. A friend and I have to make a voting application for the school. We consistently get Secuity Esception Errors when trying to access the database. And our teacher practically banned us from using a cgi application. I hate .NET
