I have been studying programming (visual basic 6.0) for a month and i read,and try hands on experience every night for about 3-4 hours.Ok now that i have explained how much of a newbie i am..haha my question is

1.I think i have a good idea of all the areas of vb..like activeX/api/functions/multimedia/moduels/(well i could go on but you get my point) What other fields are there in vb that no one realy uses?? If any? i would like to know all the fields of vb before i try to really learn it.

2.Is it easy to get a programming job knowing visual basic?
or is there a whole lot of people that know visual basic and it would be better to learn another language like C/C++?? i am still gonna learn vb no matter what..i am just curios.

Thanks you
