>>"You can do a few things to effect a higher salary, though. Staying on the cutting edge is important. 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'm not trying to bring back the "demise of VFP" thread (which I don't believe) but it's also consistant with what I see is happening in the job market, sadly.

>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.

I'll have to throw in my .02 with Craig and Mark. I don't have enough hours in the day. I have to turn down one or two consulting jobs every month. I feel guilty making as much money as I am making, but all of my clients are incredibly eager to dish out my hourly rate- and they often get mad at each other for hogging my time.

There are an average of 4-6 foxpro jobs in the paper here every Sunday (not that I am looking for more work). That's compared to 1-2 Delphi, 1-2 PB, and 12-15 VB and 15-20 C++.
