ParticipantPoinsettia is a fairly new elementary school in La Costa Greens bordering a new William Lyons development we looked at last weekend. I mean the area is surrounded by a country club, golf course, etc, so I’m still perplexed that a whole one third of the students could be from low-income housing.
This is the first I’ve heard regarding migrant farm-worker camps…please illuminate me and any other thoughts on the La Costa Greens area is appreciated.

August 18, 2010 at 10:01 AM in reply to: School test scores… like ’em or not, they’re out for the 2009/2010 year #592492ParticipantCan someone explain to my why a school like Poinsettia Elementary in Carlsbad lists 90 of 299 students as socioeconomically challenged?
http://api.cde.ca.gov/AcntRpt2010/2009BaseSch.aspx?allcds=37735510113498
What exactly defines that status? That seems rather high for an area like La Costa Greens.

Participant[quote=eyePod]You can get under $30/hr (for 1000s of hours) for high end Software, Firmware, and Hardware engineers. So yes, it is out there at those rates in India if you look for it. Not that it has anything to do with the dopey recruiter, but someone mentioned India.[/quote]
Ironic quote from a deprecated display name.
Partially true. There are many parts of tech that have become trivial and well known. Patterns have developed and it’s not as hard to do what was once complicated. However, the “high end” is already beyond that. They are not replicating solutions, but instead, devising and innovating on the cutting edge, which there will always be…in firmware, hardware and software.

P.S. I was once a renter and so upset at a landlord that, after asking me what I did for a living, told me he thought all those jobs where going to be outsourced to India. And he was a lawyer…we really need more of those innovators in our lives!Participant[quote=eyePod]You can get under $30/hr (for 1000s of hours) for high end Software, Firmware, and Hardware engineers.

Requirements:
6+ years experience in Java, 10years total
Core Java, XML, Agile, Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a must, Hibernate, Oracle, JSF, Flex,
JBoss Richfaces, Expert knowledge in Web services and standards – SOAP, WSDL, XML, XSD, Tools – RAD/WAS/WMP, OO design patternsRate is $35/hr W2
I am just stunned, $35/hr? For those skills? WTF? I know it’s not April so this must not be an April fool’s joke.[/quote]
This doesn’t surprise me at all. Any company trying to hire for these skills is running deprecated software and they know they can’t afford the rates of those more current. JBoss Richfaces? Cmon! They are attempting to contract an older out of work programmer that still actually lists this stuff on his resume and hoping to get some hits. This is legacy enterprise market and you cannot expect a high pay rate to maintain legacy systems.
Expert knowledge in Web Services and standard and they start with SOAP? How about answering the recruiter with SOAP failed because of it didn’t follow existing web standards!
Once you’re skilled enough on the software side of the industry, you should not list specific technologies on your resume. Nor should you search for specific technologies when trying to find work. UNLESS you’re looking for contract work and relegating yourself to a specific tech. And, if you are, I encourage you to read:
http://www.pragprog.com/titles/cfcar2/the-passionate-programmerDo NOT go tech specific…focus and provide solutions, which means having the ability to pick up any of the technologies above during the first couple of weeks while you determine the problem.
