Last time I looked you don't need computer skills to be a respiratory
therapist. And if they're like most hospitals, hospitals are screaming
for programmers because they don't pay a reasonable rate.
Saw an ad for one in the DC area here a while back - a whole litany of
requirements, which could only be realistically met by someone with 10+
years programming experience. And they were paying less than what a new
programmer would get almost anyplace else.
