I know what you mean about niche skills; that's how I got into contracting in the first place. I was head hunted because I was one of only 2 people in the UK with the mix of skills that was wanted and the other person was the contractor who recommended me to the agency. Programming on a GEC4000 machine and designing and programming using the proprietary Progress Relational Database system.
