my career

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (Robert)]

Josh suggested that I think about going into QA.

I'm a bit worried that doing this will pidgeonhole me into "testing"
rather than "software development".

I'm contemplating the idea of looking for another job which may be closer
to what I was working on before (data mining/machine learning), but I
think this may be too risky until you find a stable job.
