Just because places aren't hiring doesn't mean you don't send them a portfolio of work anyways. Find a place you want to work at and harass them gently for a job.
If you need extra money troll the bitcoin forums for posts of people looking for small store software to be built or other forums.

I am forced to use mysql for an experimental homomorphic encrypted db. Now that I know there's actual pro support for PostgreSQL that have commits I'm never going to use mysql ever again as I was just hung up on a few things while porting to Postgre. Great success I can't wait to nuke mysql from my system forever
The cult of the cloud is great business for me since I specialize in finding VMM and KVM bugs.
Since corporations want to cheap out and host their previously secure physical boxes all on one server with a wide open console and management system to get into this has made pentesting much easier.
I especially like projects like Whonnix, where fools construct this complex layer of virtual machines on top of virtual machines. It's like taking the shit sandwich of blobs and bugs that is x64 architecture and ethernet drivers, and building a whole mountain of shit right on top then calling it secure.
The cloud definitely has some benefits, but if you're handling finance or require serious privacy better shell out for some OpenBSD racks, virtualize the routing table and set up pf firewalls to isolate the network with real actual isolation and not pretend magic isolation. Best of all there's just one operating system, not three of them piled on top of each other.
derpmaster....working on delivering a cloud infrastructure (VMware 5.0)leveraging OpenBSD-based security appliances (GeNUA)for the security perimeter. Would appreciate any insights on securing cloud infrastructure with OpenBSD. Do you have a website and do you offer any services with respect to cloud infrastructure penetration/security design/security testing?
Would be interested in VMM bugs with respect to VMware.
The .biz site is cookie cutter bullshit full of buzzwords I wouldn't want to pay for it either but I applaud these guys screwing over their stingy boss anyways. Every web designer I've met has plenty of stories of not being paid or being asked to build a megasite for an insultingly low figure by cheapskate startups
Like posting pictures of Goatse and Lemon Party on the main page of their client's web site. It would drive away potential customers and ruin their reputation.
This is the corporatist way. Everything is measured so it can be 'tweaked' by managers and technocrats because school is a business now.
Having a bad teacher to me doesn't matter when any kid can turn on his phone or laptop and watch free MIT lectures, free Stanford lectures, free Khanacademy lectures, free Android and iOS developer courses all over youtube, ect.
Gates obsession with teacher metrics would be better spent on building an entirely free university with worldwide standardized credits, so somebody in Pakistan can have their education credentials accepted should they start working overseas instead of being forced to drive a cab around Montreal while spending thousands to retake what he/she already learned.

Alternative self-study education is small compensation for having your child literally waste a school year in a teacher's class who has no clue how to keep control of the kids or desire to go over the material in class vs assigning everything for homework. In my daughter's case, her fourth grade teacher was too busy using that vaunted Internet access to check her facebook page.
Also, your "doesn't matter" argument would hold a lot more water if I didn't have to pay significant taxes to support such a lame public education system.
Walking around campus I still see an endless sea of Apple products, though it's more of a fashion accessory now.
I am a pariah with my IBM Thinkpad running openbsd. When I spot the other heathens using Thinkpads we nod at each other like it's some underground secret club.
As for tablets the new google nexus tablets will be in the $99-150 range and you can manipulate the source to custom build whatever you want.
There's a good reason people left Europe to build new lives in Canada and USA, because they left behind the old world entrenched hatred, corruption and religious intolerance.
US may be responsible for institutionalized modern slavery with their insanity prison system, but at least you don't have mainstream political parties calling for the death of romani and jews like they do in France, Greece, Italy and Hungary.
Even the Netherlands has seen it's fair share of ultra fascist political parties that used soccer jingles to rally hooligans to their cause and beat immigrants in the streets. That these fascist parties would now use Twitter to further organize their members is not surprising but at least on Twitter there's a diaspora of people to refute their bullshit racism and scapegoating. Simply censoring it will not make it go away.
Speaking of Italy Berlusconi used Holocaust Memorial Day a few hours ago to praise the leadership of Mussolini. No I didn't make that up. That's how screwed Europe is right now.
You think the US doesn't have racism and religious intolerance at levels of the EU countries also? ... Am I in the Twilight Zone? Has everyone gone mad?
