I've written in this forum before, but I'm trying to switch over being a Crystal Reports Developer. My experience is with Crystal Reports and writing queries in SQL. The problem is that companies now days want you to know .net, C#, etc.
I was in an interview w/ a contracting company and they asked me if I had any database administrator experience and told me that this would play a big part in the job. This was labeled as a Crystal Reports position, but they added this to it as well.
Here I am, 40 years old, and feel like I have to take another year out of my life to learn additional stuff. I I do have some programming experience (not much), but am very frustrated that I can't just concentrate on SQL and Crystal Reports for a solid career.
So what should I do? Should I start learning more stuff (and by the time I learn it, I'll probably be behind)? I just feel like giving up and getting my CDL license and drive a stupid truck for the rest of my life.
