This is not realistic.  The market place is such that only the top 1%,
and the lucky are able to find jobs.  Unfortunately, the market place no
longer has room for the less skilled and the less experienced.

I have not yet met someone that can truly program on Linux, that could
not .  Likely as the Linux environment gets better, it will become less
true... people will no longer the base skills that save you from time to
time.

Thankfully spelling and typing are still not required,
