What would you like to be dong 5 years from now with respect to programming, or architecture, or project management. Can you list 5 things you do today very well that are not VFP centric but are necessary aspects to getting the job done? Where do you see this industry headed at mid decade? Will web-centric everything be the mark or will the real cool parts be in SAS? Anything you take on will be a real stretch from the nuts and bolts of VFP. So the next path will be very different. Not knowing your age would you feel comfortable around young men and women that may be fresh out of college who are doing ......? Or would you want to stick with a more mature crowd who likes to follow a waterfall style? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
