A career in C#? I doubt it. I ran over to monster.com and did a quick search for C#... got 1467 results. Not bad for a java rip off. However, C++ got 4170 results. Java got more than 5000 results. (It says "1 to 50 of more than 5000")

Of course if you really want job security, learn SQL. Databases are huge right now. Data collection is only going to get bigger and bigger. A search for oracle on monster.com comes up with more than 5000 results as well.

I see C# as a passing fad. It was really hyped and then kindof sizzled out. Now there's a little sign of life but .NET has really failed IMHO. Probably because they really didn't make it clear as to what exactly it is. With the costs of storage and RAM drives going down, interest in databases are growing. Also with the trend of outsourcing, becoming a DMA might not be a bad idea because I think a company's data is one thing they really want to keep secure.

I also find it really amusing that you are really the only person pushing C#. Why?
