Ask HN: How I get a job that uses C?

My wife is pregnant and I need a job urgently… and like when I needed a job urgently in the past to pay student loans, I feel inclined to accept whatever offer I get. But what I really wanted was work with C. But even searching for that is hard (often a company writes C/C++ and they mean only C++ and not C at all). I tried in the past seeing if embedded would work but even entry positions require experience. So no idea where to look for such jobs. The vacancies list I found right now is just a long list of full stack, frontend, backend, sometimes java, the occasional SQL, nosql, and sometimes python or ruby. Not a single C job. Where the C users are hiding? Is living programming in C even possible or it became a purely hobby language for people doing angular.js on their day jobs?
