The QA thing has passed my mind, and for the same reason you mentioned,
being able to sneak in some clojure/clojurescript into the automation.
I may need to look more into the whole contracting thing. It is a bit scary

I appreciate that Zach. The whole idea of casting a wider net is certainly
something I'm open to, I may have made it appear that I'm picky when it
comes to what I code in. I'm really not. I've gotten where I have simply
because I've both been fortunate and driven by more unusual motives than

Many of us started out in non-development jobs and worked our way into full
time coding. Tech support jobs are ok but I would focus more on QA jobs.
This might allow you to do some automated testing using
clojure/clojurescript and given that test code isn't given the scrutiny
that dev code goes
It sounds like you know what you want, and you're fortunate for that. I
often don't, and I can tell you that greatly complicates things. At any
rate, there are few things more stressful than career changes.
Perhaps you are casting too small a net. Many here would love to be paid to
write Clojur
TL;DR - Got as close to a dream job as I could have wanted, after 6 months
lost it. Now, with only experience in Clojure and Scala, and seemingly
stuck in Utah, not sure what's the best next course of action.
I'm putting this out there because of all the good experiences I've had
over the years
