>From what I have seen and have read, Java or C#, if you want to stay in

Redback/U2 WDE or SQL Admin, SQL and SQL reporting.

To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org
several suggestions:
1. datastage
2. .net (in particular asp.net/c#)
3. jBASE (in my opinion despite the fact its not as well used as U2, its
got a good future (in my opinion))
4. maybe some system admin stuff (in particular I love aix)
