Re: RHCE looking for a job

The Washington DC/ Northern Virginia area, while not exactly booming 
with IT jobs, is probably in better shape than most of the rest of the 
country.

The main reason is the Federal government. Working for government 
contractors doesn't pay as much as what you'd be used to in the 
commercial world, but the work is much more consistent and steady. 
Government work isn't nearly as affected by the economy as the 
commercial world.
