Clay be thankful you are an asp programmer and a php programmer to boot and this is why...

The industry is going to come to a split here soon...a decision is going to be made to either go the .NET route or UNIX...either way allot of the apps that are out there are going to have to be re-written or built from scratch...now if companies decide to go the MS route, they are going to have to rebuild all their servers from NT4 to AS2000...hence the companies will be spending a but load for licenses etc...now comes the hiring of .NET folks..there are not many out there so they will be wanting top dollar...

Now if a MS environment company decides to go the UNIX route...the apps that where once written in asp will have to be converted to php...this is where you would come in...there are allot of asp programmers out there but folks that know both asp and php are limited...I say this because in the last couple of jobs I have had...I would say I know about 30 top asp programmers...3 of them including myself know both...therefore we too will be a highly sought after commodity
