What he said. My friends happen to be iOS developers and they make good money. They also frequently mention the ease at which they get and retain jobs because of the relative scarcity of iOS developers when compared to Android. They're all fairly young and relatively inexperienced, but they're still in very high demand. Thanks for your comments

Thanks for the comment. My degree is in public policy. I haven't given up hope on that either and am currently applying and interviewing. I've got enough money to give myself three to six months to get up to speed.

As I always, I appreciate sarcasm. But in my defense, I felt like posting my question for two reasons. One, I'm not "new to iOS with a heavy background in C". Two, I've been reading that Xcode 6 has some serious shortcomings, which is I'd be doing a majority of my Swift learning. When the previous post happened not much time had been spent in 6, and I wondered if anyone had input on changes for the better. I don't want to learn a new language in a buggy environment.
