I signed one, now i'm SOL. (Score 1)

I left my job with a web host about 8 months ago. The company wasn't run the greatest, the pay sucked but the thing that kept me staying for the 2 years I had worked there was the work environment. I moved onto bigger and better things, now my job is being outsourced to India. I am currently looking for a new job and the non compete agreement I signed with the hosting company is still in effect. I cannot work for a competitor for up to 1 year after i leave, as per the agreement I signed when i started. Now my job options are limited. This is all thanks to the Germans at the hosting company, thanks guys.
