Another option, Kurt, is to consider a different job but within the same
circles. For example, after I got laid off from my last VFP Corporate
gig, I marketed myself as a Business/Data Analyst, as I've been doing
that work right alongside of my dev stuff for decades.
It's all about how you can market yourself to be a value to an employer
and less perhaps about your actual technical expertise. (At the end of
the day, I can now help in more ways as a BA as opposed to a VFP Dev.)
Good luck!

Kurt,
Wes Wilson ([email protected]) is advertising on LinkedIn that he does
VFP conversions. My guess is that companies that use VFP may see that and
reach out to him, looking for VFP developers - even if just to maintain code
until he can get it converted.
And I know of at least 2 companies in the bay area that depend on VFP. One
has an application that is used around the country (with lots of very active
customers.) The other uses it to manage all their deliveries, truck routes,
and accounting. They currently have all the staff they need (or are willing
to pay for.) And no, I am not one of those staff.
My point is that there are companies out there who need your talents. The
hard part is letting them know you exist and are available.
Take care,
Fletcher

Subject: Re: Remote FoxPro Work???
Wow - you really must be a Fan! Will be honest - and it probably sounds
bad - but, I never heard of A-frame. I have, of course, heard of Unity -
and I have merely dabbled in it. But, most co's want SERIOUS Unity
experience in order to hire. And, FYI - the current gig - which does NOT
Pay enough - and thus my current financial stress - its running a 3D
Printing farm - and also doing 3D designs for clients. But, it simply
does NOT pay well enough...

You also have 3d skills. Can you use them to segue into A-Frame, Unity or
photorealism etc?

Yeah - I know - these days - that's a pretty crazy request.
I know some of you have followed me a bit - and know I lost my job in
Nov 2017 - where I was working down on Wall Street. Then, moved to Cali
to look for a job - could NOT find work in San Francisco. Even applied
to UCLA for a programming job - did 2 rounds of interviews - and the
people there saying they were impressed with me - during both
interviews. Only to NOT get the job. Then, finally, getting a "job" down
here in San Diego. Actually getting to do 3D Design work for clients, as
well as running 3D Printing jobs. But, sadly - its SUCKING! Its not a
regular job - not salaried - not even part time pay. Its contractor pay
- per job - and it does NOT pay well enough. Been here for over 9 weeks
now - and its again put me in a BAD financial situation...
So - as a total "shot in the dark" - I figured I would post here again
and see if there is any possible remote FoxPro work.
And, I know - almost no companies these days are still working w/VFP.
And, sure, I know it would be better to work in some other newer more
modern tech. - but, I don't have any of those tools in my tool belt. So
- all I really have is VFP & MS SQL.
Anyway - just figured I would take a stab and post here...
Regards -Kurt
