Digg! this story.

One of my loyal readers recommended that I speak to the special needs that 1st-time technical job-hunters have. He thought I might have seen some things that would be helpful as you begin the process of figuring out what you want to do to make money.
This is a surprisingly difficult request!
Why?
Because the notion of a 'career' where one gradually moves up the rungs is almost silly (hence, Job Hacking). Because the demand for some roles, like Developers, far outstrips the supply, whereas the demand for other roles, like Directors of Development, does not come close to meeting the supply. Because it's almost impossible to describe to a job-hunter what it's like to be in the shoes of the hiring manager. Because my assumptions about any one job hunter are almost certainly to be incorrect.
Still, it's an interesting request, and it has all sorts of great things to consider.
With that, we're off to the races...
