I think you're being naïve, but I didn't mean to turn this into a language battle, which we've all done a million times here. The simple fact remains that some skills are going to get a job quicker and make more money than others. I get about 5-10 inquiries per month from recruiters looking to interview me because of my .NET experience, most of them here in Charlotte. I've had 1 recruiter in the past 4 months looking for my CF experience. There's no contest as to which skill gets me a job quicker. Somebody just talked about the 10 CF jobs in Ohio a few minutes ago.
And your statements are really, really ridiculous. Find an HTML job and get paid $10/hr, if you're lucky. Yeah, somebody's got it good making $50,000/year doing nothing but COBOL, but I but you can't get that job, no matter how good you are at it.

I could make a good living right now doing nothing but COBAL. I could make a good living right now doing nothing but Foxpro. I could make a good living right now doing nothing but Actionscript. I could make a good living right now doing nothing but embedded C programming. I could make a good living right now doing nothing but HTML. I personally don't (currently) want a job doing them. I also don't want a job doing .net or Java.
