Lucky, Perhaps?

Here's an interesting article on Salon about the lack of good jobs in the technology sector (thanks /.). Perhaps I'm lucky to live in Pittsburgh, where the tech industry isn't doing too bad. I left a fulltime job last fall, and I've had fairly consistent consulting work since, and I've even turned down an offer for a full-time job. Another friend just got a new job in the industry, and I know a few other folks who are entertaining offers. Perhaps life is okay for us because, even though most of us have worked almost exclusively on web-based projects, our knowledge base is wide enough to allow us find work outside the web (case in point--I was doing ERP system work for awhile--incredibly unglamorous, but it pays well). Or, perhaps some of the people interviewed for articles like this aren't very good at what they do? I doubt that, and I know the market is bad, bad, bad in other cities. Pittsburgh isn't so bad after all....
