Mark -

I think what you want to study depends on what you want to specialize in. So you're really asking "What do I want to specialize in??"

Well, if you are posting to a VB group, it sounds to me like you want to specialize in microsoft technoliges. The usually means:

OS: Windows 95/98, NT
Programming: Visual Basic, Visual C++
Database: MS Access, MS SQL Server
Internet: IIS, or anything else my MS.

If you want to get "well-rounded", you could get formal training in SQL Server, and get your MCP/ MCSE/MCSD, then get a first job using oracle. That would be good. Or, give up on the middle path and just go all the way for one or the other.

good luck!
