In addition to Visual Basic, developers who know XML make more than those who know other languages. Similarly, if you understand ASP and do multitier development, you're likely to earn more than your peers. Sadly, expertise in Visual FoxPro or PowerBuilder won't be your ticket to financial success."

I've never seen salaries for Fox developers here in SLC as high as they are now. I can also show you articles from VBPJ that say the average VB programmer isn't very good. He's generally self-taught and has no concept of development life-cycle or writing maintainable code.
