Forget coming up with a new killer app — the most profitable tech job right now has to be video. You got studio Lionsgate signing an iTunes distribution deal with Apple, existing old-media and online powerhouses building out video content creation studios, and everyone from Viacom to Myspace hoping to create Youtube-killers. Anyone who can help post Flash video should be able to write their own ticket on either coast. Google's even buying up online rights to old TV shows while simultaneously helping video pirates sell ads. Cash in while you can, coders.
