More applications.....

Applied for about a half-dozen jobs today. Nearly all of which wanted more experience than what I had in the particular language or application, or they wanted newer versions of applications. Example: I worked with Oracle 5.1.22 on an OpenVMS platform for 4 years. But everyone seems to want Oracle 11i. And even thought I have 6 months of C++ experience, they wanted someone with 2 years of experience.

Maybe I'm doing too good of a job filtering myself out or disqualifying myself. After all, I know I'm my own worst critic.

Or maybe it's time I no longer have what people want and it's time to say the hell with the rat race and start my own business.
