CSS and employment

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I think it might make an interesting conversation.

In my case, I’ve gotten pretty good at building CSS sites with some scripting, but besides the standard graphic programs, CSS and javascript, I don’t really have any other tools in my belt.

Can you make a “career” off of being a CSS expert? Or does one need to know a whole host of languages and techniques (php, mysql, java, etc.?) in order to have “a career”. In my case I’m trying to figure out the next step – I can design a bit, and I’m good with the CSS…but it seems, according to craigslist anyway, that you need a million and one skills in order to go the development route. There seems to be a third route, called “UI design” which seems to be a third kind of option between a designer and developer.

Do you guys think of yourselves as designers? Developers? What kind of skill sets do you have / are you moving towards? etc etc.

again sorry if this is misplaced.

You didn't mention HTML. Are you experienced in that?

@johnnyblotterauthorNov 03.2008 — yes, I am pretty experienced at HTML...you kind of have to be if you are doing a lot of CSS, I would think.

Thanks for the link, I will check it out....

any ideas anyone has as "next steps" to take would be appreciated too...my plan is to improve at javascript and learn AJAX and jquery.
