Hi Jim, Yes, you are right. All of those things are factors too. I've spent a lot of time and money on keeping my programming skills up to date, and it is something that is always changing.
For example, when I was a student in college they were still teaching Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6, Java 1.1, and SQL. However, no sooner did I leave college and Microsoft released their new Visual Studio .NET suite of languages C++ .NET, C# .NET, and Visual Basic .NET. Sun released Java SE 1.2, and pretty much everything I had learned was worthless because it was already out of date. So I had to go to Safari and basically read up on all the changes in C++, Java, and Visual Basic .NET to keep myself employable from a programming stand point. That doesn't come cheap, and there have been many updates since then. Cheers!
