Not really, most web apps are just CRUD (and MVC if you're lucky). What percentage of all web apps (remember, this includes apps that are only ever used on a corporate intranet) ever get to tackle scaling or data mining?

There are many examples of boring corporate non-webapp programs. Visual Basic was the most popular language once and it has nothing to do with web programming.

Most positions in any field are entry level. If you like data mining, plenty of web companies do that.
