About "OSDEV will probably never land you a job." Is this really true? I'm sure that such low level experience comes in handy in the driver development and embedded fields. --[[User:Earlz|Earlz]] 08:50, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
:In one of its ambiguous meanings it's true: you probably won't get a job as an OS developer more than what you do with regular education. A masters degree often earns you more than some code. And even though I got a job in the embedded market, I wonder how much the "OS" in "I made this nice (OS) project" made a difference. - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 08:51, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
::It's not just that -- most beginners will probably misinterpret the word OS: they will think about something like Windows, Linux or OS X. The word "never" has a certain amount of gravity that is probably more suited. They can figure it out for themselves later. :) --[[User:Love4boobies|Love4boobies]] 11:13, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 
Forth was suggested; however information on Forth OS dev is sparse from this site or the web. This seems pretty advanced and out of scope for a beginner. --[[User:Eve|Eve]] 20:55
