This question is orthogonal to the proposed use of one's time.
Gabor's suggestion is a good use of one's time beyond the first 20
hours/week spent on job hunting - instead of being bored and angry with
the world for not providing one with bread.
Other suggestiosn:
1. Utilize the information gathered during job hunting to determine which
skills have the most demand now (hopefully, they don't have anything
to do with Microsoft .NET).
2. Look for a open source project, to which you can contribute, and whihc
has future potential for consultation income.
My candidate: AbiWord - full Hebrew support, and
templates+macros+mailmerge. Then one could consult with companies,
which switch away frmo MS-Word and its ilk, and develop templates for
their office documents.

I have an hunch that education will be the hot profession of 21st century.
The bottlenecks in utilization of technology are moving away from
existence and cost of the technology in question, to ability of people to
learn to use the technology and to be its masters.

generation, and so as they died one by one, there were no
suitable replacements.
