Let's not throw around the term Java zombie, there are lots of high paying and interesting roles within the Java world, every language has boring jobs.

To the OP the hot and well paid areas of Java development at the moment seem to be around:

Spring Boot/Hystrix/Feign Play Framework Java 8 Hadoop Spark ML

From what I've seen of the hiring market Android looks to be one of the hottest areas, there is a real dearth of good quality talent in this field.

What kind of places would be looking for native Android developers? I was learning Android a year ago but decided to switch to web because I figured there would be more opportunities.
