You could always invent a programming language; it seems to have helped
Guido segue into the commercial work force. =) The light sprinkling of
temporary work will probably hurt you. I got a hard time from employers for
that, even though a) I was in school, b) short-term job-hopping was
practically the norm for the tech industry until a few years ago.

But in any case, I didn't mean to mock you, I honestly thought you were
either joking or that I was misreading or misunderstanding your message.

Well, if you truly must telecommute, I can't say that you picked a
particularly bad field. =) Also, keep in mind that an open source project
can make a nice resume builder, and give you experience, and give you the
opportunity to network (in the social sense) and meet people that just might
be instrumental to your future.

Best wishes,
Dave
