Finding contract work is not so much work, especially if you are willing to code in Java. Personally I dread the day when I will have to do so again, but it is better as starving. Plus, 3 to 4 months can pay for the whole year.

Just check the typical sites, I had good experiences with jobserve.co.uk (they don't only cover the UK - but I am in Europe/Germany).

iPhone contracting seems to be quite popular atm, too. If you already have a Mac, might be worth looking into. Personally I still shun the investment of getting a Mac+iPod touch.



Can you use Clojure for the Java work? I'd only do Java projects if I could use Clojure as often as humanly possible.


In general I would say no, but you can always get lucky and hit on a "progressive" Java project.

I totally feel with you, but seriously, Java is not so bad that I would rather starve or freeze to death than code in Java.
