There is a lot of demand for families that have the power to wrap their arms around a projects, specification it out, and then do the work. This takes a grand talent.

Another extended market for software developers is in entertainment. The console and hand-held play market is HUGE! Got a good game thought? Spec it out and then write the code. You'll either have a effective game or a demo for exhibit off your accomplishments. A lot of companies are looking for game developers for the Sony Playstation and the Microsoft XBox platforms. And if you're not into effective on 10 to 30 person development teams, then go for the PDA and/or smartphone market.
