Have you read about project 2038? Mountaindewed turned me on to it. Its going to be like another Y2K, where they are going to need like literally armies of computer programmers to make small but important changes to countless computer programs. The deadline is barely 10 years away.

You guys are all fairly computer literate. You may be able to find a tech cert for this work. I worked on some y2k date processing updates but mostly i worked on systems that were supposed to have been replaced by new systems by that date but which were late and needed more complex modifications, because by then i had 25 years experience and could read the minds of dead people! J/k! But thats what fixing old programs is like!

I like that you are thinking outside the box. I can see where "Better Health" and such online psych help things will have expanded needs in the future. I would love to see the day when online screens are optimized - i still remember one horrible set in the late 1970's that i refused to enter test data on because if you missed the last tick, you had to re-tick thru the entire screen, no reverse! Not for me!
