Then again what's the truth. Is VFP's situation really as bad as some think (like I do) or is it more like what Jim Eddins said in another thread.

The assessment can only be made by the individual. If an individual takes the time to consider and ask that question: Then a career with VFP is probably not the path that individual should take! You should consider moving away from VFP. Your concerns are a distraction and may be affecting your production.

As my Granny says: "If it smells like food is burning, then it is already burnt!"

She has another: "Penny rich but dollar poor!" - but I could not sequay that bit of matronly sophist into this topic, so I just dangle it!:-)
