Default What do you do for a living?

Hello everyone,
I was just wondering what other people that develop iphone apps do for a living. Is iphone dev your main source of income? Mac dev? C++/UNIX?

Here's why I ask: I love Macs. I grew up using macs (80's & 90's), then strayed over to the world of Microsoft for about 5-6 yrs. I learned a good bit about windows (desktop and basic network admin), but I also learned to hate MS. A few years ago I bought a Mac Mini and I love it (no OS is perfect, but dang!).

I started teaching myself objective-c/iphone dev about six months ago and, again, I love it. So, the problem is that most of my experience over the last ten years is with windows admin (mostly desktop [Access, Excel, VBA, etc.]), and web dev (php, coldfusion, html, etc.)

I currently work as a data manager with some web dev sprinkled in. It pays the bills, but I would like to do better. Any thoughts? Are there many jobs for mac/iphone developers? Should I dive into the world of C++/UNIX? CCNA? MCSE? Underwater basket weaving???
