I consider myself "underemployed" at the moment. The company I worked for during the last 11 years were doing a development project for a new product (which would have been the best in the world by far) but because of changes beyond our control (manufacturers ceasing manufacture of the micro chip we had done 3 months development, third party in development agreement changing their protocol etc). Eventually the parent company pulled the pin and we were all out of a job (April 1st actually). Since then I have been doing casual programming for a company who manufactures scoreboards for football, cricket, golf, rugby etc. Really interesting work, but some weeks are less than 10 hours.
Still looking for full time work, but not successful, not sure if age is a factor....I can remember when they landed on the Moon!
