Not really a fair comparison. They should compare Santa Clara county to Collin or Denton county.

Santa Clara has a median household income of $89K and a median home value of $681K? Somethin's not adding up there.

Sounds like household incomes might be top and bottom heavy.

Somebody has to work at Starbucks and Walmart, mostly out of work COBOL programmers.

Just the way Danno likes his wimmin.

No sympathy here. A good programmer can transition from one language to another without too much difficulty.

As they told me, when I was looking for a job in IT many decades ago, once I finished school, "We don't go for none of them "boutique" programming languages around here. It's COBOL, or nothing. We have been writing code for years - and we don't have any fancy college degrees."

####### is an example of a boutique language?

Of course, once I finished learning the basic programming and assembly languages, I no longer needed them for the advanced classes, we just wrote the routines in pseudocode, and never bothered to verify they actually worked. It was so nice not to spend half my life in a computer lab.

You didn't have to write actual code in advanced classes? Where did you go, DeVry?

Sonoma State University. I was an Applied Mathematics major, with a minor in C.S. Most classes I took were a mix of Math and C.S. majors.

Interesting. I majored in CS and there was no class where I could finish an assignment with just psuedocode. There WERE assignments where the first submission was pseudocode, once that got profs ok we had to write it into actual code.

My Database class was taught by a MC68000 Assembly programmer. Most of the class was versed in C. C confused him more that machine code confused most of the class.
