They are poor choices because most jobs available to me are for java/ruby/python/etc...

I personally like Lua (that I NEVER saw a job opening for this), and C and C++ that I learned as a kid.

When I find the rare C or C++ job, usually they want 20+ years of experience or soemthing impossible like taht to me (I am 27 years old, obviously I can't have 20 years of experience), or are jobs in other countries, but unwilling to help with visa.

C and C++ became sort of too specialized, only use for high-performance stuff, even games now (what I really like to code) several companies prefer to use .NET or Java, the few C or C++ jobs that exist usually are in countries with some engineering history (like Germany, I saw lots of C++ jobs there), or in US (that has lots of jobs of lots of things).

I do feel kinda like you, though I'm more of a "jack of all trades". You can find C jobs in the embedded industry, in Brazil, have you considered it?
Yes of course, I got ONE interview (coincidentally, yesterday, in a company that makes cashier machines).

And I mean ONE interview over the course of 6 years looking for a job

Perto?
