>Compared to Microsoft's .NET products, and I did research to prove this, there are few opportunities with the Fox now. When you go to, for example, http://www.indeed.com, and put in FoxPro and a city and state, FoxPro comes up with 0 to 1, or maybe as high as 2 opportunities, but Visual Basic and C# come up with 40, 50 or hundreds of opportunities depending on the city you look at. We can still build good apps in VFP, but if no one offers work in VFP, but only in JAVA, ColdFusion, VB, ASP.NET, or C#, then you have to go with the market, which in my case, means completely retraining.

You're lucky. In Turkey I could just see two or three VFP jobs for "all of Turkey" at last year. I'm trying to move ABAP. ABAP developers earn more money than C# developers and ABAP easy like VFP... ;)
