Not true with VB it wont get you shit. VB is jsut the basic of computer programming, all it teaches you to do is to make a coupel pictures move over each other to form a animation, or you make a basic + - * / calculator or jsut simple stupid programs. Then when you move up to Java all that does it teach you a bit more about programming and then about Website programming. THEn when you move up to C++ THAT is where the big bucks come. That is the true programming software where you can make almsot anything. I had friends who where so dam good at C++ that him and a few friends built a compute game and then before they graduated sent it ot a company who liked it and hired all of them as computer game designers/programmers. They are making the big bucks right now!
