the chances are still fairly good. The opportunities are there for someone
who has the technical chops and is willing to learn all the detail that goes
along with using C# and the .Net framework. Your biggest challenge may be
making the switch to event-driven user interface development (something that
stumped many folks moving from C to VB about 10 years ago).

However, if you want to make this switch, the last train is leaving town...
don't wait much longer. There are a lot of jobs being outsourced to India
and China, and in about 10 years, most of the new jobs will be going there,
so if you want to make a living at this, get the job as soon as you can...
and hope your employer doesn't believe in laying off Americans in favor of
cheaper folks overseas.
