I think this topic/question is more aimed at those of you who have knowledge or careers in the computer industry.
I currently have 3 years of experience as a Visual Basic programmer
(yeah, yeah, hiss boo). I have gone from making less than $20,000 to
more than $70,000 in this time, so my Visual Basic skills have
certainly paid well.
Here's my question: In order for me to break over into the next level
of income generation or at least stay in my current salary window, what
sorts of skills should I be adding? I hope to be certified as a MCSD
(yeah, yeah, hiss boo) before winter, but what else should I be
learning/doing? What will the Next Big Thing be?
I have no formal programming training - I have a degree in worthless Journalism and with a family I don't have time to go back to school right now...
Any advice? Comments? Etc?
Thanks!
