>Personally, I'm busy trying to guess which technology area will give me the most career choices in my local area (or in the company I'm in now) in three years, and finding ways to gain practical experience in that technology (playing around may not be enough). The choice seems to be between learning another development tool (VB.NET, C#) or learning another database tool (SQL Server, Oracle).

Actually, I am very happy to have spent the last few years working on a VFP/SQL Server ap... if the VFP experience doesn't do me any good, I know the SQL Server experience will.
