I'd be careful about a job based on something like MCSE and knowing a single language like ASP; they may pay you near 6-figures now, but in a few years you will be out on the street without a job unless you get a real skill. Knowing how to program and knowing computer science are two completely differnet things; you can know one without the other. Computer science is a skill that will be here forever, while comptuer programming changes rapidly enough and being a comptuer programmer essentially guarantees that you will never rise up in the corporate world. I suggest learning C++ and Visual Basic, for application programming, and MS Access (not really a language, but a program) for Data base creation (also learn how to interface with access through VB a and VC). Java is great for web stuff, as is ASP. perl is a good scripting language. BUt most importantly, you must learn a butt load of mathematics and theory behind comptuer science if you want to have a job for more than 4-5 years! Learn all of the algorithms you can and make sure to understand concepts of efficient coding as well as readability and modularity.

And if you ever want to make more than 6 figures after a few years, either get a good degree (graduate level; preferably an MBA) or be very very very lucky.
