Grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it?

I was looking at Japanese jobs in a web site (forgot which 
one) that was for foreigners.  There was a search field for 
Japanese level.  I selected JLPT 3 (i.e., the old system 
when there were only 4 levels) and there was only a few IT 
jobs.  Once I changed it to just JLPT 2, I got *pages*.

Of course, there is also the other side-effect that less 
people have JLPT 2 than JLPT 3, so competition is also less...

Not sure if things are the same now; that was a few years 
ago when I looked at that site.
