Yeah.
You wouldn't believe how many calls I get now that I have "some" experience in PL/SQL.

Not that I'm looking... although I may be think about moving back to Dallas.



>It is nice to have a skill set that will bring in a source of income. Call it an insurance policy. I know a guy who still does FoxPro DOS programming – support that is. That is all he does. He does not have a family or great financial needs so he can enjoy what he wants to do. He refused to learn VFP. Consider your resume when you apply for a job. More skills – greater chance of employment.
