With a screename like FoxPro (and you may have already done this) I'll assume your an IT guy with a specialty in FoxPro...now Visual FoxPro. Broaden your skillset, The first development tool/DB app I learned was FoxPro, yet as time went by (and FoxPro lent itself to be inadequate for certain user needs) I pretty much self-taught myself VFP/VB/limited ASP/SQL and SQL serv management/SQL DTS/MS Office automation/OLAP databases etc., through books, the general "wanting" to make my job easier, good old fashoined trial and error, and on-the-job, real world pressure situations where, unless I wasn't going to "learn" it and apply a solution at a pretty quick rate...the boss was going to be plenty pissed.
I'm convinced that just about anyone can obtain skills in just about anything if they really want to, are not afraid of failing, are willing to keep at it....no matter how many mistakes you make (eventually you get it right...after all...most things are not rocket science). Don't give in...and don't give up. Eventually things have a way of working themselves out, we don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but we all get there.

I am convinced that beating my brains out to learn the latest software skill is basically a very bad gamble. Why should I spend my time learning something that my Indian and Russian friends will happily do for less than $12 per hour. I think I will go back to school and get a law degree.
