    Depends on what you program. Plenty of jobs for CNC programmers. If you can do three or more of horizontals, five axis, Swiss, mill-turn, and macro B, you can just about write your own paycheck.

    Heh :) Damn right.

    Likewise, if you can take a MS Access Database and make it do anything you want, you have some income believe it or not. Plenty of small businesses, and entrenched platforms in medium to big businesses, have some sort of MS Access nightmare. Although, I love it. Very neat and self contained database, that can be *greatly* extended by a simplified VB, with WYSIWYG development of forms. It wasn't all that complicated to connect the forms to data with a gui, or write code in VB to connect to whatever other databases you want. I digress though, my point was that it was a pretty awesome program. You can imagine how many different places it is still in use, and for whatever reason, the system cannot be upgraded, there is no alternative, and somebody has to get it working again.

    I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket of course, they will eventually be upgraded, but there are more than a few industries where this work still exists.
