jgasm, I have experienced job change many times over. Sometimes it was imposed on me, and sometimes I imposed it on myself. Each time was better than the last. Each time I learned new things and made new acquaintances (read that as 'contacts'). Sometimes I made more money. Sometimes I wrote in languages that I would rather have been writing in. Eventually, I got my dream job. But it may not last either, but I don't fear it. I expect it. I embrace it. I look forward to it. Don't fret. Just because you may not see it, doesn't mean it's not there. Old programmers never die, they just wrap around.
