Do any of my theries make sense. I don not want to pay out lots of money for a course that may not improve my chances of finding new workk.

The bottom line, investing $'s in Fox will be throwing good money after bad. If you like data, get proficient in SQL Server and Oracle. And, if you plan on developing apps for the Windows Platform - .NET is the way to go - especially since the day is going to arive when you will be able to have SQL Server host .NET assemblies.

You need to make a plan with short, intermediate, and long-term goals. This time next year, where do you want to be?

Best of luck!!
