50K is a low salary unless you're living in Virginia or Ohio (or some other states). There it would be considered as an average salary for the VFP programmer.

I disagree with you. The last time I considered taking permanent full time employement, back in 2002, the annual salaries that I was offered ranged between $65,000 and $75,000 per year. And that was 3 and 1/2 years ago < s >.
