Oh, no. I totally agree. Thing is, it pays well. And for someone in his late 20's who wants to be able to get on with his and his family's life soon, I'm willing to sacrifice for a bit until I can take the jobs that I want.
I'll readily agree with your second and third points, but your first depends on the marketplace the company is involved in. If it's ZYX Company that does systems for nationwide department stores, then the position should really require a broader range (I've done more development in 5 different languages/IDEs in the past 3 years than some do in 10+). The stickler comes in when you're working as a govvie contractor: most contracts have a requirement for education/experience that are immutable. Occasionally, you'll find someone tha the customer (government) is willing to waiver, but that hasn't happened often in what I've seen.
Robert E. Lee on Leadership : Executive Lessons in Character, Courage, and Vision by H. W. Crocker III is a book that I read when I began the transition from SA/SE to project manager. While it does delve into the history and goings-on of the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression, according to my wife), the 'backstory' does well to highlight examples of what the author is trying to say.
It does have many good principles, and it's a fun read.
Good luck!
As recreational vehicles streamed in for race week, revenue investigators were checking fuel tanks of diesel RVs for illegal fuel.
The investigators spotted Teixeira's passing bumper sticker: "Powered by 100% vegetable oil." Ok, so what is 'illegal fuel', and how do they check for it? Couldn't that be considered an invasion of privacy?

Tell that to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the Nation of Islam OT, I know. But hey! This is ./, after all.
If he does, it's as an HMO claims analyst.
