I just quit a relatively convenient and well paid job as a Java webapp backend consultant, just couldn't do it anymore.

The thing is, there are PLENTY of jobs right now, but most of them are so dumbed down and meaningless that any ignorant fool can perform them, and ignorant fools are cheap to hire and easy to take advantage of.

My current strategy is aiming further down the stack, closer to the hardware, embedded stuff; which hopefully means less ignorant fools to deal with and more interesting problems to solve.
