Excellent presentation Joe. I really wanted to be a Rails dev when I was in college. I eventually changed paths because I just couldn't find any junior opportunities.<p>I did have one company offer me a Rails internship abroad but they wanted me to skip a semester to work for them and I just couldn't do that.<p>It's quite sad how many companies only want "senior" devs. This isn't isolated to Rails by any means. I put senior in quotes because they're often times only considering years of experience and not at all capable of measuring actual skill level.
