>>My situation is similar. My salary has almost DOUBLED in the last 3 years, and considering I make smart career choices and maybe a few sacrifices (longer commute time, spending personal time on studying and learning, spending even more time learning C#) I don't see that rate of growth slowing. Plus, I have plenty of options...

>>I started with VFP, and if I had stayed, I honestly would be in the same dumpy cubicle right now making 45% less, and I would be too scared to leave that job if I had to because I wouldn't be able to find any other VFP work. I'm not flaming VFP with that statement - I am telling you my honest opinion.
