[nfbcs] job market

[Jim Barbour]

I haven't seen the argument on the other list, so it's hard for me to say who's right.

Macs are rarely used as servers, soo there's not a lot of demand in the IT world for people with strong OSX skills.  

Macs are often used as user workstations, so someone generally has to build the company image for Macs, worry about virus scanning, and provide helpdesk support.

I will say that I work as a principal systems architect in IT mostly worrying about UNIX machines.  Most of my coworkers, all sighted, use Macs and prefer Macs. So, knowing how to use a Mac as your own personal workstation is valuable, just not sufficient to get you an IT job.
