@vendettanet:

Situation is not so bad as you may think and it is getting better (because of all the good stuff going on around FPC and Delphi 2007). In my country there is like 10 Delphi jobs per month so... if you are ready to travel..;-)

I am having luck to write this post in my office with Delphi 7 oppened in the bottom tab (soon 2007 )

And I think that situation in UK or USA is way better. Just don't give up. You may also want to start your own company and fill a lot of gaps on the business market, by making smaller applications for individual customers.
And after getting back from work you may try to use Lifepower's Asphyre or even pure Direct3D to write your own game with hope of selling it someday.

Good luck!
