In most of the cities, there is a minimum of 2 to 4 times as many job opportunities for C# over VB, which is exactly why I will continue to learn C#.
I copied in my data from the Word doc and it just doesn't look so good. Yuck. I'll attach the doc.

>I'm curious. Have you done a search to determine the number of VB jobs compared to C#? I suspect there are many more for C# and they typically pay more.
