Look at this search for all computer jobs in the entire state of Hawaii :

http://jobsearch.monster.com/Search....iles&pg=1&vw=b

Now enter a key word of "php" then enter keyword "perl"...and there is nothing.

The jobs that are there often are "civilian-military", which means you get raked
across the coals with lie detector test, piss test, finger printing, security clearance(where they scare the shit out of your neighbors by asking questions about you and not telling the neighbors why)...etc...

Been there, done that.

Good luck.
