First of all, thank you so so much for the kind words at Queercents. And second, good luck on your search. I think you're right--there are more jobs that require technical skills than people to fill them. I work in web content mangement, a little HTML and PhotoShop--it doesn't really require much background at all, but just the little bit I had (in, like you said, the context of a liberal arts degree) opened so many doors. And it sounds like your experience is even more specific. Sounds to me like you're well on your way! Hi, AJ! First of all, thank you so so much for the kind words at Queercents.
