Michael, > You were doing VFP/Fox work, right? Any idea which country took away > your jobs? My guess: India.
I was doing VFP/ASP/etc. work. Lots of system support, web back end stuff, and a good share of VFP as well. Lots of VFP middle tier work. Any retraining I do comes out of my severance so rather than go through a government or company program I'm paying for stuff out of pocket. That's where the conference last week came in and the class I took last week as well. I'm going into energy consulting and internet marketing in addition to custom software development. I have a degree in mechanical engineering in the HVAC discipline, but haven't worked in the area since my days at General Dynamics doing thermal calculations for rockets and satellites. So I decided that California's Title 24 market had a Kris-shaped hole in it and am taking training classes so I can get into that area. It looks good so far. I will still be using VFP to support my energy calculations, of course. :-) Also, I will be at SWFox as a vendor next month. More coming on that in a couple of days! ;-) I could not make it to FoxForward because my 9/15 end date was too close to the conference date. I was delivering a "bridge" software project and was working ridiculous hours right up until the last minute. I had no idea whether I could make it or not so I just didn't try to schedule either conference until I actually left EDS. Now that I am gone and am almost caught up on sleep, I can say I wish I had been able to make it to FoxForward, and that I'm looking forward to SWFox next month!!
