I did, but unfortunately I don't have all of the skills. I don't
remember the exact problems, but I know it wanted some scripting
language experience I don't have or know. For example, I suppose I
should learn PERL, and improve my bash skills. Hmm, I think it also
required Fortran. I'm really a C/C++ person at heart; I can learn any of
the requirements, but most of these jobs do not allow one to "learn as
you go". The whole arena of scientific computing is interesting, often
it requires specialized skills though, I wish there were more ways to
work into these fields.
