Hey,

 Is there any mailing list / job board for searching
IPv6 related jobs?  I beleive creating such a list/board
will help in IPv6 growth.

 If there will be jobs in this area, more people will be
working on it, its the same thing as cisco certifications
increased the chance to get a job so cisco products become
more popular than any other in a short period of time.

 Currently, it seems that IPv6 is only mainly studied by
students/researchers. When these students finish the degree, there are
minor chances that they will still be able work on it. They work
according to their job requirements. If there will be jobs in IPv6, they
will be more than willing to utilize the previous experience.

 The most common question asked, if you tell someone about IPv6 is 'when
do you think, IPv6 will be deployed globally?', We usually reply 'sir, may
be in next 8-10 years', so does it means that IPv6 releated jobs will be
available after 8-10 years when IPv6 becomes common in use?
