These days, at least here in Dallas, the tech pickings are rather slim.
HTML and Javascript will get you a nice job - as a waiter. You will need to
know Unix, Linux, TCP/IP, and C++ in order to be considered really
employable.
Wait 6 months or so and I think that things will turn around. If you use
the 6 months to study and learn, you should be ready when the market is.
I'd also mention that most of Windows is actually written in C++.
Just my 2 cents.
